lyrics

I spent the whole day
Stuck in my bed
Filling my head with
Whatever I can
To drown out the things
I know about her
I know her too well
Then again, I'm not sure
But I know little things
Like her favorite colors
I think it was grey, and dark green, and lavender
But I may be wrong, and that's as much progress
That I've made so far in trying to forget her

And my eyes shine like stars
When I see a pretty stranger
With features that force me to
Remember her face
Like an old picture with pasted magazine cut-outs
To fill out the white spaces that faded with time
I hate that I paint her smile in my mind
On reflex when I see some girl she looks like
Why does moving on have to take too much time
But all that it takes is a name to miss someone

I swear that I'm trying
My best to feel better
But our love left a ghost and I fear it'll haunt me forever
So here's to the memories
I wish would leave me alone
Oh, I know it's my fault why I always end up in the cold
On my own

I was out with our friends
And they told me about
How one time they saw a waitress
Who looked just like you
So I faked a smile
To be polite to their story
To be honest I don't like it when
You're mentioned to me
It's just I'd rather pretend
I woke up from some dream
And I'd forget everything
After one of these mornings
But it's taking its time
And I'm trying to be sober
Cause I was drunk in love
Now I've got a hangover

I swear that I'm trying
My best to feel better
But our love left a ghost and I fear it'll haunt me forever
So here's to the memories
I wish would leave me alone
Oh, I know it's my fault why I always end up in the cold
Oh, I swear that I'm trying
My best to feel better
But our love left a ghost and I fear it'll haunt me forever
So here's to the memories
I wish would leave me alone
Oh, I know it's my fault why I always end up in the cold
Oh, I know it's my fault why I always end up in the cold
Oh, I know it's my fault why I always end up in the cold
