[Intro] You’re just an aftertaste I can’t wash away [Verse 1] It’s been a while since I heard your voice I thought the silence would feel good I stopped checking if you’re online Stopped going where I knew you would But sometimes something small brings it back A song, a smell, a stupid place And for a second I can almost feel Your hands, your breath, your fucking taste [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want you back I know that much So why does losing you Still feel like us? [Chorus] You’re just an aftertaste I can’t wash away Sweet for a second Then bitter for days I don’t want you I just hate How everything we were Still leaves an aftertaste [Verse 2] I’m doing better, I really am At least that’s what I tell my friends I can say your name without breaking I can sleep alone again But healing isn’t clean or pretty Some nights I still go back Not to you, but to the version of me Who thought that we could last [Pre-Chorus] I don’t miss the pain I don’t miss the fights I just miss who I was Before you changed my life [Chorus] You’re just an aftertaste I can’t wash away Sweet for a second Then bitter for days I don’t want you I just hate How everything we were Still leaves an aftertaste [Bridge] Maybe some things never leave They just stop hurting every day Maybe moving on doesn’t mean I have to forget your face And maybe that’s okay [Breakdown] I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU LEFT ME WITH THE REST A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE A LOT I CAN’T FORGET BUT I WON’T COME BACK JUST TO FEEL SOMETHING AGAIN YOU CAN STAY IN MY MEMORY YOU DON’T GET TO STAY IN MY HEAD [Slow Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] You’re just an aftertaste Fading every day Still a little bitter But I’m learning the taste I don’t want you And that won’t change You were everything once Now you’re just an aftertaste
