lyrics

i’ve counted the days
since we parted ways
and the memories get vague
but I don’t let
them go

i smoothed out the sheets
used to house your silhouette
used to hold your body heat
since the day that we met

and you know
this isn’t entirely for show
this insistence
the resistance
to nostalgic replay
if i knew just how
what i think I know now
it wouldn’t change that i’m alone here today

i’ve counted the days
since we parted ways
and the memories get vague
but I don’t let
them go

i spared all the knick-knacks you left
totems collecting the dust
bric-a-brac now all bereft
of the memories formed from our lust

embracing the furniture
that you chose to abandon
with the scars i am sure
that i had a hand in

i’ve counted the days
since we parted ways
and I don’t want to let go
but I must
