Afterimage

Your coffee cup is gone But I still reach around it

There's nothing on the hook But I still walk around it

Changed the sheets Moved the bed

Painted over everything

Funny how an empty room Can still remember things

I don't want you back

So why are you

EVERYWHERE?

YOU'RE AN AFTERIMAGE Burned behind my eyes I look away I blink

again

You're still inside the light

AFTERIMAGE Nothing left to save I don't miss you anymore

I just can't forget

YOUR SHAPE

A song comes through the speakers I know what's coming next

My hand reaches for the volume Before it hits that part again

Not because it hurts Not because I want you here

I just hate how something finished Can still feel this fucking near

I don't want you back I just want you

OUT OF FRAME

YOU'RE AN AFTERIMAGE

Burned behind my eyes I look away I blink again You're still

inside the light

AFTERIMAGE Nothing left to save

I don't miss you anymore

I just can't forget

YOUR SHAPE

I changed the room.

Changed the locks. Changed the pictures.

Changed my mind.

So why does memory Take its fucking time?

YOU'RE AN AFTERIMAGE

Fading from my eyes I look away

I blink again You're barely in the light AFTERIMAGE

Finally losing shape I don't need to erase you I just needed

TIME TO CHANGE

There you were.

... There you go.
