Lyrics

I don't think about you

I don't actively think about you.

Till I'm alone

Thoughts of you only come when I'm by myself.

I don't talk about you

I don't discuss you in conversation.

Till a friends calls asking why

I only talk about you when a friend asks why you're not present.

You're not around

Noticing your absence when you're not around.

I say I'm fine

Responding that I'm okay, masking true feelings.

So I take the L train

Taking the L train, a symbolic journey.

To a new stop

Heading to a new stop, seeking change.

Always in the fourth car

Consistently choosing a specific train car, anticipating encountering you.

In case I pass your block

Being cautious near your place, trying to avoid memories.

Cause I don't wanna feel you

Expressing a desire to disconnect from emotional attachment.

Still haven't washed my sheets

Keeping a reminder of you by not changing my sheets.

Since your left last week

Not moving on since your departure.

Leftovers of your existence

Remnants of your presence linger, making it difficult to be myself.

Now I'm left to be me

Struggling with self-identity in the aftermath of the relationship.

And I don't wanna sleep on my own

Expressing a reluctance to sleep alone.

I wake up to your water cup

Confronting reminders of you in my morning routine.

And say hello

Greeting your absence as if you were still there.

Laugh at myself it's so fucked up

Recognizing the irony in my behavior.

Wish I felt at home

Yearning for a sense of belonging and comfort.

I'm afraid to sleep on my own

Expressing fear and discomfort at the prospect of sleeping alone.

You were the last one to play my guitar

Recalling a shared moment involving a guitar.

Still haven't picked it up

Avoiding engaging with reminders of the past.

I wanna keep you alive

Desiring to keep the memory of the person alive through belongings.

In the smell of all my stuff

Associating your presence with familiar scents in my surroundings.

I just wanna feel you

Expressing a longing for emotional connection.

I heard you found a new someone

Learning about your new relationship.

And she's real young

Noting the age difference of your new partner.

I'm sure she'll keep you happier

Wishing for your happiness in the new relationship.

And won't require too much

Suggesting that the new relationship may be simpler and less demanding.

And I'll get used to sleeping alone

Acknowledging the eventual adjustment to sleeping alone.
