Swore I’d Forget You

[Verse 1]

I packed up your T-shirt

Left it in a box on the floor

Told all of my girlfriends

I don’t say your name anymore

I changed up my number

Deleted our photos at two

But every sad little habit

Keeps finding a way back to you

[Chorus]

I swore I’d forget you

Said it out loud like a spell on my tongue

But every night I regret you

Your ghost in my bed when the day’s said and done

Thought I was better

Look at me sinking in memories I outgrew

I swore I’d forget you

But I still remember too much of you (too much of you)

[Verse 2]

I drive past your exit

Tell myself to stare at the road

Still count all the windows

In that apartment we called home

I laugh at the movies

Right where you would laugh in my ear

How can you be so absent

And still be the loudest thing here?

[Chorus]

I swore I’d forget you

Said it out loud like a spell on my tongue

But every night I regret you

Your ghost in my bed when the day’s said and done

Thought I was better

Look at me sinking in memories I outgrew

I swore I’d forget you

But I still remember too much of you (too much of you)

[Bridge]

Tell me how do I lose you

When losing you’s all that I’ve done

Every promise I threw at the dark

Comes crawling back when the room feels numb

I write your name in my head

Then cross it out till it’s bruised

I keep on lying to friends

But my heart keeps telling the truth (oh)

[Chorus]

I swore I’d forget you

Said it out loud like a spell on my tongue

But every night I regret you

Your ghost in my bed when the day’s said and done

Thought I was better

Look at me sinking in memories I outgrew

I swore I’d forget you

But I still remember too much of you (too much of you)
