Lyrics

Still got our pictures hangin' on my wall

Still keeping memories of our relationship displayed on my wall.

My roommates say it's time I take them down

My roommates advise me to move on and remove the pictures.

So I tell them that I will

I assure them I will take the pictures down.

Then I don't, yeah

However, I fail to follow through with my promise.

I found the sweater that you left behind

I discover a sweater you left, triggering memories and longing.

And start to miss you for the thousandth time

I start missing you intensely once again.

Still convinced it's all my fault

I still believe the breakup is my fault.

But it's not

Contrary to my belief, it may not entirely be my fault.


'Cause you hurt me bad

You inflicted emotional pain on me.

Then I hurt you back

I responded by hurting you back.

Tell me, what kind of love is that?

Reflecting on the nature of our troubled love.

No matter who's in my bed

Regardless of who is physically present, you linger in my thoughts.

You're the one in my head

You remain the dominant presence in my mind.

You're the best I ever had

You are the best romantic experience I've had.


I can't get over you

I struggle to move on from our past.

I'm still pourin' salt inside the wound

I'm still inflicting pain on myself by dwelling on the past.

I'm not ready to

I'm not prepared to let go.

I'm still pourin' salt inside the wound you left me with

I continue to revisit the emotional pain you caused.


I never understood why you said goodbye

I'm confused about the reasons for your farewell.

I'll check my phone another hundred times

I repeatedly check my phone, hoping for a change of heart from you.

Just in case you changed your mind

I hold onto the possibility that you might reconsider.

But you won't

Despite my hopes, I acknowledge that you won't change your decision.


'Cause you hurt me bad

You caused me emotional harm.

Then I hurt you back

I reacted by hurting you back.

Tell me, what kind of love is that?

Reflecting on the tumultuous nature of our love.

No matter who's in my bed

Regardless of who shares my bed, your memory prevails.

You're the one in my head

You remain the predominant thought in my mind.

You're the best I ever had

You are the most significant romantic experience in my life.


I can't get over you

I struggle to move on from our past.

I'm still pourin' salt inside the wound

I'm still inflicting pain on myself by dwelling on the past.

I'm not ready to

I'm not prepared to let go.

I'm still pourin' salt inside the wound you left me with

I continue to revisit the emotional pain you caused.


I can't get over you

I struggle to move on from our past.

I'm still pouring salt inside the wound

I'm still inflicting pain on myself by dwelling on the past.

I'm not ready to

I'm not prepared to let go.

I'm still pourin' salt inside the wound you left me with

I continue to revisit the emotional pain you caused.

I'm still pourin' salt inside the wound you left me with

I persist in dwelling on the emotional wounds you left behind.
