[Verse 1] I told everyone I'm better And sometimes I believe it too I can go a little longer Without making everything you I learned how not to mention it I learned where not to look There are days I almost lose you Then I remember that I could [Pre-Chorus] I thought getting better Would feel different than this Mostly it's just learning What I'm supposed not to miss [Chorus] Carry you like an old timestamp Burnt into the back of my eyes I swear I'm doing fine without you Then the whole day lies [Verse 2] I've gotten good at leaving Before the feeling starts I know which thoughts to walk around And which ones fall apart Some days you feel so distant I wonder why I cared Then something small comes over me And suddenly you're there [Pre-Chorus] I thought getting better Meant wanting something new But mostly I've been getting good At not admitting I want you [Chorus] Carry you like an old timestamp Burnt into the back of my eyes I swear I'm doing fine without you Then the whole day lies [Bridge] I don't wait for you anymore At least that's what I say I've stopped imagining you're coming I just never look away Maybe this is getting better Maybe this is what it means To carry something quietly Where nobody else can see [Final Chorus] Carry you like an old timestamp Burnt into the back of my eyes I swear I'm doing fine without you Then the whole day lies [Outro] I told everyone I'm better And sometimes I believe it too Tonight I almost meant it Then I thought of you
