Silk On My Skin

Silk on my skin... I left your picture face down on the dresser Said I was stronger, said I knew better But midnight walks in wearing your cologne Now this whole apartment feels too alone Got your hoodie wrapped around my shoulders Trying to convince myself I'm over The way you knew exactly where to touch my soul Boy... you made chaos feel controlled Tell me why moving on feels slow Why your memory won't let go I keep closing doors inside my mind But somehow you still slip inside Like silk on my skin... you linger Soft touch, slow burn, fingertips on my heart Even when I say we're finished Baby you're the sweetest scar Like silk on my skin... you stay there Long after goodbye fills the room with silence I can wash my hands of us But your love won't lose its fragrance Girls say “leave him in the past, don't answer” But healing ain't as clean as the answers You were danger wrapped up beautiful Wrong timing... right kind of beautiful Your voice still playing in my speakers Making weak nights feel a little weaker I hate how missing you feels so natural Boy... loving you was habitual Why your shadow fit so close Why your absence feels like smoke Every little thing I try to change Still somehow carries your name Like silk on my skin... you linger Soft touch, slow burn, fingertips on my heart Even when I say we're finished Baby you're the sweetest scar Like silk on my skin... you stay there Long after goodbye fills the room with silence I can walk away from us But your love won't lose its fragrance Maybe some loves don't disappear Maybe they soften through the years Not gone... just hidden underneath Every part of me... Silk on my skin Silk on my skin Silk on my skin Silk on my skin... you linger Silk on my skin Soft fire underneath my heartbeat Silk on my skin... still there Even when nobody sees it Don't know how to let you fade… No no… not completely…
