[Verse 1]

I cling to memories like keepsakes on the shelf

Hold onto promises I made when I had you for myself

And the telephone's ringing

And I hope we'll be singing stupid melodies like this

It's the way things should've been

[Verse 2]

You left your sweater when you ran away from me

Still has that pic from when what's you and I was we

But frankly, I'm not upset

I've been just fine since you left

Cause I've got me myself and all your precious things I've kept

[Chorus]

And maybe

Hanging on like this is going way too far

I'm tracing

The sweater's seams it's nauseating

But it reminds me of you

When you and I worked as two

These tattered threads unweave beneath my touch and feel just like you

[Verse 3]

Look in the mirror and just question what went wrong

Is my obsessiveness what pushed you till you'd gone?

Cause frankly, I'm quite upset

At me or you, I digress

I think I need you but you're perfume's the best thing I'll get

[Chorus]

But baby

Holding on this is going way too far

I bathe in

The scent of you when things were better

I can't deny it feels bad

Breathing the person I had

But you won't stay and I won't wait to use the keepsakes I have

[Bridge]

So run away

And stay away

I keep myself in check and pretend everything's okay

But I need your touch

I need your love

I'm drowning under all the keepsakes that I stole from you

Cause I know it's true

You love me and you're coming through

Delusion's such a pretty lie with you and I

[Outro]

Baby

I know that holding on is going way too far

But maybe

You could come on over and I'll

Try not to steal from your bag

I'll hide the things that I have

But all my shelves are filled with things I took when you turned your back
