[Verse 1]

I remember you

I remember the past like it’s still true

And I remember when

I remember when stars were in your eyes

This is overdue

But I’m scared I’d rather not know the truth

No, if you don’t love me

I don’t know what I’d do


[Pre-Chorus]

So I can learn to ignore this inkling

If you can learn to fake more convincing

Convincing


[Chorus]

But I long to have someone to hold me close

‘Cause now you’re feeling like a ghost

And I long to bring some life back to your love

Don’t tell me that you think it’s gone for good


[Verse 2]

I remember how

I remember how you acted, how you acting now ain’t right

I don’t know, I don’t know why

Stars fell out your eyes

But I can let it go

Just repress it better, I swear that I’ll never mention it

No, we’re both scared of

We’re both scared of letting go


[Pre-Chorus]

If I can pretend that you still want me

You could convince yourself you love me

Still love me


[Chorus]

But I long to have someone to hold me close

‘Cause now you’re feeling like a ghost

And I long to bring some life back to your love

Don’t tell me that you think it’s gone for good


[Outro]

You picked up my pieces to let ‘em go

Now after all I let you know

About me, doubt me, run and scream and shout me down

When you know that I’d never go that low

I am sick and tired of your innocent persona

With that attitude that’s lurking it’s like I don’t even know you anymore

Out the door, ‘cause I know my worth

And I know the pain is worth it in the long-term

No, I don’t even know why I held out so long

I knew our love was gone but I wanted something strong to keep my senses kicking

Even if it’s not existing anymore

I couldn’t bring myself to walk out that door ‘cause it represented

Giving up on the idea of somebody who loved me

And maybe I knew that I’d just be really fucking lonely

But if you’re a ghost, you need to pass on by

So, go. I promise I won’t cry
