Don't Go

I’ve flipped over every table in my mind

Trying so hard to find every last piece of you

Cause you’re starting to fade

Picturing your face while I was making wine stains

Reading through the texts I’m so glad that I saved 

But there’s never enough of you

I have typed your full name into every search bar

But it never gets me far, so I wrote our story down 

To read between the lines

And use predictive text to figure out what’s next

Asking all my friends if they think you’ll get back to me

But you never reply 

So what now, and how do I move on 

Without hearing you say that you were wrong

This is me tugging at the hem of your t-shirt 

Begging please just don’t go, don’t go 

I’ve gone over every time we were in bed 

Knowing that we’ll never be again and I turned away from you

While I was lying next to you 

And if I could go back I would never do that 

I would stay awake until you fell asleep

Just to watch you breathe 

Cause now I can smell you on my sheets, picturing you with me 

Hoping that when I sleep I get to dream 

Because there’s never enough of you 

What now, and how do I move on 

Without having you back in my arms

This is me tugging at the hem of your t-shirt 

Begging please just don’t go, don’t go

If a pinecone falls when no one is around

How do we really know it fell

Maybe it’s a letting go 

And if it’s a letting go, then who let go first

Was it the branch or the cone

Who let go, who let go, who’s letting go

And if it falls down to the ground then it must become a seed

And it’ll come back to me, come back to me

If it’s a letting go, if this is letting go 

Maybe you’ll come back to me, come back to me, come back…

What now, and how do I move on 

Without knowing that you’re really gone

This is me tugging at the hem of your t-shirt 

Begging please just, no

This is me tugging at the hem of your t-shirt 

Begging please don’t go, don’t go

We could’ve tried

I don’t know what I’m looking for

We could’ve tried

I don’t wanna get over you

We could’ve tried

We could’ve tried

Now you’re one more thing I’ve lost my faith in
