V1
I don’t want your hoodie

Just wanna know who

Wears it now
I don’t miss you

But I like to know

If there’s someone new
Are you doing alright?

I just wanna look tonight

It’s nothing, I swear

I just wanna see what’s there

C
I hate that I know

When you post

Where you go

Who you’re with

Where you’re at
Like I’m waiting

For that

But I don't know why
I don’t want you back

I’m not wishing for that

It’s a way of saying goodbye

V2
I don’t follow you

But somehow
I still know 

When you post
I tell myself

It’s just a glance
Just something
I happen to notice

Then I put my phone away

Like I didn’t care anyway
I think I wanted to see
If you’d changed without me

C
I hate that I know

When you post

Where you go

Who you’re with

Where you’re at
Like I’m waiting

For that

But I don't know why
I don’t want you back

I’m not wishing for that
It’s a way of saying goodbye

B
We were too young to call it history

But too old to call it nothing

So many memories

Not enough to keep us coming
I wouldn’t change a thing
But…

I wouldn’t take you back

I just wonder who you are now
And if you ever look back

O
I don’t want your hoodie

I don’t want you back

I just wanna know

Who wears it now
And maybe that’s all it is

Maybe that's all I lack

I’m over you

I just haven’t stopped looking back

I DON’T WANT YOU BACK

V1
The room felt warm
Yet an uninvited chill
Lingered in the air
Something whispered
Or was it an
Unknown touch
I can’t remember
A sense of calm
It made me feel free
All i knew was
Something’s calling me


C
Come closer
Come closer
I hear it calling
Come closer
Come closer
I don’t know why

V2
I didn’t move
Yet- somehow
I was closer
The silence was strange
It seemed to breathe
Between the walls …
Do I stay
Or follow where
The silence leads

C
Come closer
Come closer
I hear it calling
Come closer
Come closer
I don’t know why

B
I didn’t surrender
But I’m here
I don’t remember
Getting here

COME CLOSER
COME CLOSER

O
Come closer
Come closer
I hear it calling
Come closer
Come closer
Now I Know why

NOW I KNOW WHY

[V1]
Twenty-two , believing
Forever meant forever
So i put it in permanent ink
Your initials on my wrist
Never thought our story
Had an ending like this

[Pc]
Your promises ran out

As love left your heart

But your name lives on

Now we're apart

[C]
I'm still wearing you
On my skin
Is it a reminder
Or just a scar
Time may fade the ink
But it shows where I've been
I'm still wearing you

[V2]
People tell me

I should erase you

Cover every trace
With something new

But you were a chapter
Written into me
Even if we weren't meant to be

[Pc]
Your promises ran out

But mine still remain

In every faded line

That still bears your name

[C]
I'm still wearing you
On my skin
Is it a reminder
Or just a scar
Time may fade the ink
But it shows where I've been
I'm still wearing you

[B]
Maybe one day
I'll stop seeing your name
And just see the ink as mine
Funny how forever
Didn't last at all
Now it’s just a tattoo
A wake- up call

[C]
I'm still wearing you

On my skin

But it's a reminder

Of where I've been

Time has faded every line

Now it shows

How strong I've been

[O]
The ink tells the story,

Even if love walked away.

I don't wear your memory...

I wear the woman I became.

V1
Staring in the mirror
Not wanting to see
Whose reflection
Is facing me
I see those eyes
But are they mine
I keep looking
For someone
I left behind

C
I’m running away
From myself
But i’m taking me
Everywhere I go
All roads I take
No matter how
Far I run
I’m back
Where i began

V2
I thought
I’d turned a corner
But i was already there
I can’t break free
From the person
Who’s always be
Waiting for me
I left you behind
But you were
Walking beside me

C
I’m running away
From myself
But i’m taking me
Everywhere I go
All roads I take
No matter how
Far I run
I’m back
Where i began

B
I run
I run
But I’m still here
Still running

I hide
I hide
But I’m found
Every time I hide

Every time
I close my eyes
You’re standing there
I finally realise
You’re always there

C
I’m running away
From myself
But i’m taking me
Everywhere I go
All roads I take
No matter how
Far I run
I’m back
Where i began

O
There’s
Nowhere left to go

Nowhere left to hide

I’ve been running
From the darkness

Only to realise
It was never chasing me

I’m running away

From myself

V1
There’s a shadow
Lying in the doorway
Where the light
Used to come through
I keep finding pieces of us
In everything I do
We were stitched together
So carefully
Now I’m pulling
At the seams

C
Does it feel
Like silk on your skin
Or is it just a lie
We’re living in
Every perfect thread
Begins to fray
Tell me,
Did our colours
Fade away

V2
I folded every memory
Like your clothes
You left behind
I still wear the words

You stitched in me

The pattern we made

Is hard to see

Every loose strand 

Still pulls on me

C
Does it feel
Like silk on your skin
Or is it just a lie
We’re living in
Every perfect thread
Begins to fray
Tell me,
Did our colours
Fade away

B
A touch of velvet
Once so tender
Warm to hold

Now there’s nothing
Left between us
A memory so cold

Will it always be black
Lost in the dark
Or can the colours
Come back

C
Does it feel
Like silk on your skin
Or is it just a lie
You’re living in
Every perfect thread
Begins to fray
Tell me,
Did your colours
Fade away

O
Every thread
Every seam
Every colour
In between

Begins to fray…

Fades away

[V1]
The traffic lights
Surrender all as one
I don’t know
Which way to go
Neon signs lose
Their glow
The hum of the city
Drowns into the night

[V2]
I try to make

My way home

Walk the route

We always knew
Stopped at the corner
Where i first kissed you
My heart missed a beat
As the dark took
The place of you

[C]
Blackout...

When every light goes down
Blackout...

Can't find my solid ground
Blackout...

You left without a sound
Now all that's left of us

Is this blackout

[B]
Trying to hold on
Until my eyes adjust
Every shadow
Slowly earns my trust
The dark can't keep me here
Forever in this space
A distant light
Calls my name

[C]
Blackout...

When every light goes down
Blackout...

Can't find my solid ground
Blackout...

You left without a sound
Now all that's left of us

Is this blackout

[O]
The traffic lights
Start flowing again
The city breathes
I’m finding my way
The road we knew
Is just a memory now
I was lost in the dark
But I’m coming through

Blackout...
Lights went out

V1
I walk alone
Like a river
Running silent
Through the night
Carrying every broken dream
Beyond the fading glow

C
Will i feel it
Like the current
Beneath my skin
Or keep searching
For a distant shore
That i’m still reaching for

V2
Cold reflections shimmer
Like vacant eyes
That disappear
Into neon skies
Like i dissolved
Into the air
Just a whisper left behind

C
Will i feel it
Like the current
Beneath my skin
Or keep searching
For a distant shore
That i’m still reaching for

B
As the light breaks through
The morning calls my name
Like waves crashing
Against the shoreline
Every fading tide
Brings me back again
To the place where I
Can finally breathe

C
I can feel it
Like the current
Beneath my skin
No longer searching
I've become the distant shore
I’ve been searching for

O
Rising into morning light
Gliding into open skies
Every echo fades away
No more drowning
I’ve found my shore

V1]
Stuck on you
I can’t let go
You pulled me through
The undertow

Now every room feels out of place
Every mirror wears your face
I'm wide awake at 3 a.m.
Trying not to breathe you in

[C]
I'm stuck on you

Like whiskey on my breath
Every highway bends your way
I scream your name
'
Till my throat runs dry
I hate that I'm still

Stuck on you.

[V2]
Time is just a thief
Stealing everything I knew
My mind is loud
But I still hear you

If I could lose
What’s left of us
Maybe I’d remember
Who I was?

[C]
I'm stuck on you

Like whiskey on my breath
Every highway bends your way
I scream your name
'
Till my throat runs dry
I hate that I'm still

Stuck on you.

[Bridge]
I broke the bottle on your memory
Still taste every drop
Tried to wash these hands clean of you
But the stain won't come off
Burned every letter, every photograph
Still the smoke won't leave this room
Every beat inside my chest
Still keeps time with you

[C]
I'm stuck on you

Like whiskey on my breath
Every highway bends your way
I scream your name
'
Till my throat runs dry
I hate that I'm still

Stuck on you.

[O ]
It lingers in the air
Won't let go...
Won't fade away
These memories stay
You're everywhere
Damn …
I hate that I'm still...
Stuck on you.
