[Verse 1] The room still smells like her goodbye Half of her perfume, stuck in July Curtains open, but the bed feels closed Her lipstick ghosted my collarbone She left her coat, but took her eyes I wear her silence like a tie Flick the light off, play pretend Replay a scent I can’t defend [Chorus] There’s half of her perfume in the air It lingers like she still cares But I know she’s gone I know too well Still chasing shadows in this hotel Half of her perfume, on my skin Smells like love I couldn't win And I breathe her in Like sin I never quit [Verse 2] I washed the sheets but not her name It’s printed soft in every flame The mirror fogs, she’s in my smoke A memory dressed like a joke [Chorus – repeat] There’s half of her perfume in the air It lingers like she still cares But I know she’s gone I know too well Still chasing shadows in this hotel Half of her perfume, on my skin Smells like love I couldn't win And I breathe her in Like sin I never quit [Bridge – spoken / whisper] She’s not here But she’s still around In the sheets, in the sweat, in the sound [Final Chorus – stripped down] Half of her perfume That’s all I own But somehow It still smells like home
