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
