You're still staining every midnight Like lipstick left on a coffee cup You only call when you're half gone Then disappear when the sun comes up I keep your jacket by the window Like maybe you'll come back for it someday Funny how the sweetest memories Always seem to leave the worst taste [Pre-Chorus] You said forever like it meant something Now it's just another word I hate You left me holding onto colors While everything else turned gray [Chorus] Cherry's on the counter, going bad again Just like every promise that you swore you'd keep Red drips on my fingertips, I can't wash 'em clean Guess some things don't leave Every little bruise is painted crimson Every little lie still tastes so sweet Funny how I loved you like a summer now your just cherry's to me. [Verse 2] I learned your silence has an echo It follows me through every room You're a ghost with expensive perfume And I still breathe it in too soon I don't wanna miss you anymore Don't wanna write your name in songs But every melody remembers Even when I'm trying to move on [Bridge] Maybe someday I'll buy fresh flowers Throw away the empty glass Maybe someday I won't compare Every heartbeat to our past Maybe cherry red won't mean your name Maybe it'll just be a color again [Final Chorus] Cherry's on the counter, finally fading Like the picture that I couldn't throw away The sweetest things don't always save you Sometimes they just stay So I'll leave the window open Let the summer air come through If love can leave a scar this pretty Maybe I can heal it too Yeah... you're just cherry's now. [SILENCE] [silent]
