Lyrics
Verse 1
I left your shoes by the door
Like I was never here before
Your coffee ring on my book
Still makes me turn and look
I folded my blue sweater slow
You liked the way the sleeves would fall
Now every thread in my hands
Feels like somebody else’s fall
Pre-Chorus
Don’t ask me to stay
I’m already halfway gone
I practiced this goodbye
So I wouldn’t break too long
Chorus
Just forget about me
I’ll leave, I’ll leave
I promise it’ll be
Like I never existed
Forget about me
I’m just a ghost
I need to disappear
Before I hurt you most
Verse 2
I know the shape of your mouth
When you’re tryin' not to fall apart
I know you’d reach for my name
Like a hand across your dark
But I can’t be your almost
I can’t be your maybe
You deserved a whole heart
Not the pieces left in me
Pre-Chorus
Don’t ask me to stay
I’m already halfway gone
I practiced this goodbye
So I wouldn’t break too long
Chorus
Just forget about me
I’ll leave, I’ll leave
I promise it’ll be
Like I never existed
Forget about me
I’m just a ghost
I need to disappear
Before I hurt you most
Bridge
If I loved you right
I would vanish clean
No footprints, no goodbyes
No shadow in your dreams
Take my picture down
Let the silence grow
Let the empty room
Be the only thing you know
Final Chorus
Just forget about me
I’ll leave, I’ll leave
I promise it’ll be
Like I never existed
Forget about me
I’m just a ghost
I need to disappear
So you can let me go
Forget about me
(Forget about me)
I’ll leave, I’ll leave
(I’ll leave)
I was never yours to hold
And you were never mine to lose
