[Verse 1]

It was just another sunless day

Didn't expect to see your face

Wearing clothes I've never seen before

And it's nice that you moved back from New York

She was stood holding your left hand

Dressed in merch from your favourite band

You look happy and it suits you more

Remember how you're never sure

About me, about life and everything

And it's funny how (Ain't it funny how?)

It's all so different now


[Chorus]

It's bitter, sweeter than honey

That you don't really know me at all

So keep me just as a memory

That's all that we can be in this world


[Verse 2]

Used to be joined at the hip

That friends-to-lovers kind of shit

You had a drawer where my parents lived

And I knew your thoughts before you did

Promised every single holiday

That we'd catch up somewhere halfway

As I turn, it came and went

Guess I'll see you soon, but I don't know when


[Chorus]

Bitter, sweeter than honey

That you don't really know me at all

So keep me just as a memory

That's all that we can be in this world


[Outro]

Won't you keep me as a memory? Baby, don't call

Keep me as a memory, it's all I'll be forevermore
