[Verse 1] I washed your shirts today Caught your name on every tag Little ghosts in cotton seams Yeah I felt you staring back I pressed the creases straight Like the way you fixed my sleeve When I shook that final door slam You just watched me leave [Pre-Chorus] You said "Keep in touch" I said "We'll see" But I knew I was lying Mostly to me [Chorus] So I folded your clothes like an open door Laid them out like a map to my floor If you miss me at all You already know I'm praying you'll come for these folded clothes Come for these folded clothes [Verse 2] I stacked your jeans in pairs Blue and black in careful rows Every cuff turned face to face Like they’re waiting nose to nose Your sweater on my chair Still smells like your midnight laugh I almost wore it out tonight Then I broke down Turned back [Pre-Chorus] I said "I'm better now" To friends who asked But the truth keeps slipping Through the cracks [Chorus] [Bridge] I blamed the timing Blamed the fear Blamed the silence in my chest But I was just scared Of being seen Being held Being guessed Now your collar's crisp My hands still shake This little pile on my bed Is my last mistake [Chorus]
