You still talk about me Like I'm somewhere I could find Like the boy you used to know Is just buried further back in time You remember all my edges Before I learned to grind them down I don't have the fucking heart To tell you He's not around The person you remember Doesn't live here anymore You keep knocking on a version of me That can't answer the door And I wish I could become him Just to see what you still see But every time you say you miss me You're missing Someone before me You still know the old reactions The words I used to choose But somewhere between then and now I became someone you'd lose You hold memories like photographs I barely fucking recognize Sometimes I think you knew me better Before I learned To lie The person you remember Doesn't live here anymore You keep knocking on a version of me That can't answer the door And I wish I could become him Just to see what you still see But every time you say you miss me You're missing Someone before me Maybe that's the cruelest part You still miss the person I fucking miss too The person you remember Doesn't live here anymore There is nothing left behind me Worth crawling backwards for And I know you mean it kindly When you say I used to shine But you're grieving someone living And I fucking hate That he's still mine I miss him too.
