[Verse 1]

I was trying to pretend that the end wasn't coming

Prolonging the inevitable

In love with what used to be

You loved yourself much more, much more than me

Did you really love me, did you love me?

Even with the tears rolling down my face

I knew I had to leave this space

From room to room, I packed my things

Every day you passed me by

Maybe you could make me change my mind

Maybe ask me to stay

Did you love me? Did you love me?


[Chorus]

88 boxes I counted

My life, it went from years to 88 boxes

After everything, that's all I have

My life, it went from years to 88 boxes

88 boxes I counted


[Verse 2]

I can't escape memories

Things that you gave me

Packing up pictures, old love letters

This self-love is hard

I gotta be a woman, be a woman

This is so hard

I think you were afraid, but I wish you said something

If you said that I love you I would've turned around and stayed

But you said nothing, nothing

You said nothing

Did you really love me? Oh, hey


[Chorus]

88 boxes I counted

My life, it went from years to 88 boxes

After everything, that's all I have

My life, it went from years to 88 boxes

88 boxes I counted


[Bridge]

Did you really love me?

Did you love me?

I thought we'd be together forever

Why? Put up with this for so long, so long

I couldn't stay, had to go

Couldn't stay, couldn't stay, couldn't stay

Had to let you go, oh-oh


[Chorus]

88 boxes I counted

My life, it went from years to 88 boxes

After everything, that's all I have

My life, it went from years to 88 boxes

88 boxes I counted
