lyrics

I’m not sure if I’m worth saving.



Well who were you to talk me down, 'cus now you're nowhere to be found?
And even though you cross my mind, every single Friday night, you're never coming back around.
And I heard you told our friends that you don't think of me that much,
And I rarely come up in conversation. I couldn't be the man that you needed
I'm so understated and so damn conceited.


And like that empty picture frame you've staring at for days,
Can't hold on to a memory if you won't do the same.
If this is just the past, I better let it pass me by.


I’ll forgot the way you held me until I fell asleep
And I don’t look at my old sweater & think it looked better on you than me.
I don’t think about your family and what they think of me.
And I don’t miss you like you’re coming back every single week.


Some things you can’t forget, doesn’t do ‘em justice to regret.
I held your hand like it was leaving, but this feeling hasn’t left me yet.


You went from the reason I was quitting to the reason I smoke half a pack a day.
And the ironic thing in that, is I never see anything through.
But when you found strength in a cigarette, what could I do but to simply copy you?
They tell me that Ghosts have no jurisdiction here, but they still haunt the same rooms you used to.

And I’ll forget you,
Or at least I’ll try to.


I’ll forgot the way you held me until I fell asleep
And I don’t look at my old sweater & think it looked better on you than me.
I don’t think about your family and what they think of me.
And I don’t miss you like you’re coming back every single week.


And it's so damn vivid in my mind,
The way you crinkle your nose when it's cold out
But I sincerely don't remember how you take your coffee.
I remember your favourite film but it takes me a whole 30 seconds to bring back your middle name.
It's killing me to know small parts of what you meant to me are slipping away,
'cus may be fine but I'm filled with fear, every day, every week, every month and every fucking year.
