lyrics
What can I say?
I’m still picking up what’s left
The odds and ends
Of the mess we made
Just so you know
I still glance through every window
Of every place we use to go
Cause I might see your face
And I’m not sure how well I’d take it
But I’ve been keeping on
I don’t play the songs about you anymore
I’ve been so alone
Plotting my revenge
And a life without you
So tell me now
How can I forget
When it feels like you’re still around
Hiding in the sounds
All the records we played
All the books we read out loud
Ringing in my ear
Singing me to sleep
Chorus
But I’ve been keeping on
I don’t play the songs about you anymore
I’ve been so alone
Plotting my revenge
And a life without you
Without you in every frame
Photos that by now I should have thrown away
I know I know I know
Someday I’ll get around to it
I’ll find someone new
More cool than you are
Cause I’m a little bruised but I’ve got room for new scars
As I stumble home from the war we started
with fewer friends and a new apartment
Well it’s not as empty as I thought it’d be without you
I’m still picking up what’s left
The odds and ends
Of the mess we made
Just so you know
I still glance through every window
Of every place we use to go
Cause I might see your face
And I’m not sure how well I’d take it
But I’ve been keeping on
I don’t play the songs about you anymore
I’ve been so alone
Plotting my revenge
And a life without you
So tell me now
How can I forget
When it feels like you’re still around
Hiding in the sounds
All the records we played
All the books we read out loud
Ringing in my ear
Singing me to sleep
Chorus
But I’ve been keeping on
I don’t play the songs about you anymore
I’ve been so alone
Plotting my revenge
And a life without you
Without you in every frame
Photos that by now I should have thrown away
I know I know I know
Someday I’ll get around to it
I’ll find someone new
More cool than you are
Cause I’m a little bruised but I’ve got room for new scars
As I stumble home from the war we started
with fewer friends and a new apartment
Well it’s not as empty as I thought it’d be without you
