Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Yeah
Verse 1
Three in the morning and I'm wide awake
Staring at the ceiling counting every mistake
You left your hoodie on the back of my chair
I can't bring myself to move it anywhere
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I should call you
Maybe I should just let it ring
Maybe the silence is louder
Than anything we could sing
Chorus
But I still smell you on my pillowcase
I still trace your name across my face
Every little memory cuts so deep
When you're the one I couldn't keep
Verse 2
Your laugh is a ghost in my apartment hall
Somewhere between the door and the kitchen wall
I saved your voicemail just to hear you breathe
Funny how a broken heart still loves to bleed
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I should let go
Maybe I should drive to your street
Maybe the rain knows what I'm feeling
Better than these tired feet
Chorus
But I still smell you on my pillowcase
I still trace your name across my face
Every little memory cuts so deep
When you're the one I couldn't keep
Bridge
I gave you everything I had
You gave me nothing back but sad
Round and round inside my head
Round and round till I'm dead
Got me singing
Chorus
I still smell you on my pillowcase
I still trace your name across my face
Every little memory cuts so deep
When you're the one I couldn't keep
Oh the one I couldn't keep
Yeah the one I couldn't keep
Outro
Mm one I couldn't keep
Mm
Yeah
