Intro

Verse 1

Took your sweater out the closet yesterday

It still smelled like the cologne you used to spray

On my pillow, on my neck, on my mistakes

Now it's just a folded memory I can't throw away

Do you ever drive past the coffee shop?

Do you ever almost call but then you stop?

I'm not asking 'cause I'm hoping we get back

I'm asking 'cause I need to know it wasn't just an act

Pre-Chorus

Ooh, Was I a chapter, or was I a line?

Was I a sentence you rewrote a thousand times?

I don't want you back — I just wanna know...

Chorus

Could you love anybody else the way you loved me?

Could you hold anybody else so they can't breathe?

Did I ruin you for everyone who comes after?

Was I the before, or was I the ever after?

I'm not jealous, I'm not bitter, I'm not asking you to stay

I'm just wondering if it mattered, or if you just walked away

Could you love, could you love, could you love...

Anybody else?

Verse 2

I've been seeing someone new, he's really sweet

Kisses me on the forehead, texts me when I sleep

But sometimes when he holds my hand, I think of you

And I hate myself for it, but what else can I do?

Did I leave a scar, or just a tiny bruise?

Am I something you still wear, or old news?

I swear I'm not obsessed, I swear that I'm okay

I just wonder if you're happy, in the most platonic way

Pre-Chorus

Ooh, Was I a chapter, or was I a line?

Was I a sentence you rewrote a thousand times?

I don't want you back — I just wanna know...

Chorus

Could you love anybody else the way you loved me?

Could you hold anybody else so they can't breathe?

Did I ruin you for everyone who comes after?

Was I the before, or was I the ever after?

I'm not jealous, I'm not bitter, I'm not asking you to stay

I'm just wondering if it mattered, or if you just walked away

Could you love, could you love, could you love...

Anybody else?

Bridge

I hope she's beautiful, I hope she's kind

I hope she doesn't have to read between your lines

I hope you're better than you were with me

I hope I'm not just a "sorry" on repeat

But God, I hope sometimes you think of me at 2 AM

And for a second, baby...

Nobody else can hold you in...

Final Chorus

COULD YOU LOVE ANYBODY ELSE THE WAY YOU LOVED ME?

Could you hold anybody else so they can't breathe?

Did I ruin you for everyone who comes after?

Was I the before, or was I the ever after?

I'm not jealous, I'm not bitter, I'm not asking you to stay

I'm just wondering if it mattered...

Or if you just walked away...
