lyrics

That dreadful week in August
Just days after my birthday
Not the first time it's ended that way
Guess I'm cursed
To still hate this month
Try to forget that day
And pack your things away

You're the same, nothing changed
You showed your true face
With the games you were playing
Boarded all the doors your friends had left open in case
And hoped we'd forget your name

I used to sleep in your flannel shirts
Sometimes I still do
And it still hurts
I see at times
You still wear my old sweaters out
And they still suit you-
Cool, but cold

She brushed her teeth
With warm water
Oftenly in the shower
And I still dream of those mornings
We'd close the curtains
And listen to 'Illuminate'
As the steam rose
And kissed our face

You're the same
Nothing's fucking changed
You showed me your fangs
Now I'm not playing your game
You burned away the bridges
All our friends had left open in case
And hoped we'd forget your name
And I'm ashamed that it won't fade

I used to sleep in your flannel shirts
Sometimes I still do
And it still hurts
I see at times
You still wear my old sweaters out
And they still suit you-
Cool, but cold
It's taken me two whole years
To pick my pens back up
And write this all down
To fucking spell out
How I'm doing
Now that you're not around
And if you really care to know
I'm not doing hot at all

I never saw myself without you
2014 was the worst year
I think I've ever been through
I miss your dog and holding hands
I miss listening to our favorite bands
Apologies are overdue
But I'd still give anything
Just to hear from you
Why'd you let me go?
Why'd you let me go? x2

I used to sleep in your flannel shirts
Sometimes I still do
And it still hurts
I see at times
You still wear my old sweaters out
And they still suit you-
Cool, but cold
It's taken me two whole years
To pick my pens back up
And write this all down
To fucking spell out
How I'm doing
Now that you're not around
I'm getting better
With each and every song

That dreadful week in August
Just days after my birthday
Not the first time
It's ended that way
