[Verse 1] I changed the sheets but I still found you there In the cotton, in the dark, in the midnight air Like your ghost learned how to breathe Right beside the shape of me And I hate how much I need it There’s a dent where your head used to sleep And a silence on your side that’s killing me I keep reaching through the cold For a hand I used to hold But the night don’t give it back to me [Pre-Chorus] I know you’re gone I know that’s true But some parts of this room Still belong to you [Chorus] I miss the smell of you on my pillow Miss the way you used to stay Like a soft goodbye in the window That never really went away I miss your hair, your skin, your shadow All the little things I can’t let go I can wash the sheets I can kill the lights But I still miss you every night I miss the smell of you on my pillow And I don’t know how to sleep alone [Verse 2] There’s a hoodie on the chair I won’t touch ’Cause it almost has enough of you left on it To fool my tired brain Into thinking nothing changed For a second, then I fall apart from it I got memories stuck under my skin Like cigarette smoke in a motel curtain Every laugh, every fight Every kiss before goodnight Every promise that stopped working [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself I’m moving on Then the dark gets close And proves me wrong [Chorus] I miss the smell of you on my pillow Miss the way you used to stay Like a soft goodbye in the window That never really went away I miss your hair, your skin, your shadow All the little things I can’t let go I can wash the sheets I can kill the lights But I still miss you every night I miss the smell of you on my pillow And I don’t know how to sleep alone [Bridge] Maybe love is just a room Full of things you can’t throw out Maybe leaving isn’t leaving When the walls still say it loud Maybe I’m pathetic Maybe I’m just tired Maybe I keep burning What survived the fire I press my face down Where your dreams used to land And I breathe in the wreckage Of what I can’t understand Come back No, don’t Stay gone No, don’t I’m so sick of missing What I couldn’t hold [Final Chorus] I miss the smell of you on my pillow Miss the way you used to stay Like a soft goodbye in the window That never really went away I miss your hair, your skin, your shadow All the little things I can’t let go I can wash the sheets I can kill the lights But I still miss you every night I miss the smell of you on my pillow Like the last proof you were here I miss the weight of you beside me I miss your whisper in my ear I can wash the sheets I can kill the lights But I still break down every night I miss the smell of you on my pillow And I don’t know how to sleep alone [Outro] I changed the sheets but I still found you there In the cotton, in the dark, in the midnight air I should let go But I don’t I should sleep But I won’t
