I spent eight months stuck in this head of mine
Trying to get out of a sh**ty state of mind
I guess I should've seen this coming when
You started to blow me off
It took me a while to realise that your doormat
Had my name all over it
Whispers from strangers that I didn't want to hear
Turning into images of all my biggest fears
Playing out stories that I couldn't bear to watch
I tried everything but I couldn't switch them off
Struggling to believe it would get easier with time
For too long now you've had a hold on me
But your grip's starting to loosen and I'm finally free
I took our photos down and stowed them away
You've left the side of my bed
And I can finally rest my head again
I've been waking up to this ghost town street
At five a.m. for the past few weeks
Wondering if this routine will take my mind off
The thought of where you've been
And the things I wish I hadn't seen
And I know it's not working but I won't give up on trying
I can still feel your arms around my waist
Every night when I turn off the lights
For too long now you've had a hold on me
But your grip's starting to loosen and I'm finally free
I took our photos down and stowed them away
You've left the side of my bed
And I can finally rest my head again
My friends all see the look in my eyes
Like I haven't felt a thing since you said goodbye
And it was so easy for you to move on from me
Just like it was for you to leave
I gave you every f**ing ounce I could
You never stayed like you said you would
