kiss me gently

(Verse 1) I don’t think I’m getting any older Weather’s changing and it’s getting colder You look me in the eyes As you tell pretty sweet lies Is this ever gonna be over? I don’t know how to say this But I love the way you leave (Pre-Chorus) It’s half past 3, I really should get some sleep Wonder what this is doing to me You watch as I deteriorate I’m sad and always lonely Talking to your ghost ‘cause it’s the only Thing I have left of you (Chorus) These memories kiss me gently I swear they’re killing me softly I knew better than to love you But I couldn’t help myself, that’s the truth (Verse 2) You have demons, they haunt me in the aftermath Wish I could go back to the past Maybe I could’ve made us last I’m not sure if you’re feeling guilty But babe, don’t—just miss me quietly (Bridge) Every time I close my eyes, I hear your name Echo in the walls like it’s all the same You took the color out of my sky Now even the stars won’t shine at night (Breakdown) And I keep whispering your name in my sleep (yeah) Trying to find the parts of me you keep You left your shadow in my chest And somehow it feels like home, I guess (Final Chorus) These memories kiss me gently I swear they’re killing me softly I knew better than to love you But I couldn’t help myself, that’s the truth (Outro) So I’ll sing to the silence you left behind A love like ours don’t fade, it just hides And if heaven ever asks what became of you I’ll say I loved you ‘til I forgot what else to do
