I’m all dried out but I’m alright
said I wouldn’t miss you, I couldn’t stop if I tried.
You’re like a ghost, but you’re not dead
you still haunt me everyday.
Better now than I was before
got myself together, never thought I would.
My taste now it just ain’t the same
I wish you could see me this way.
But darling - we’re always dying
changing like the seasons with dead leaves on the ground.
And darling - I’m always dying
and just like my mirror I don’t think you’d recognize me now.
My overthinking’s something of the past
my taste for liquor, I’ve given up on that.
Found my fate at the bottom of a bottle
that I was slowly drowning in.
Finally got up and saved myself
stopped blaming everything on everyone else
Well I don’t recognize who I used to be
and I’m sorry you got that version of me.
but you’re forever the embers that flicker but never fade
the ghost that haunts me for all of the love that we made
and I loved you then and I swear that I still do
and if I had my chance well I’d make it all up to you
because I owe it to you
darling I’m going to make it up to you
And are you just like my mirror
do you even recognize me now?
