I leave the lights off when the clock hits two
The silence in this room feels louder without you
I walk to the closet,
pull the door real slow There it hangs,
faded grey,
the one you left
long ago
It's oversized on me,
just like your love used
to be
I slip my arms inside and let the memories
bury me
Your sleeves still smell like rain and your
perfume Every thread holds a ghost of the afternoon
We wasted laughing on the floor I wear
your old hoodies on the nights I can't
sleep
When the bed feels too big and the dark runs
too deep
It wraps around the holes you left in my chest
Pretends it's your arms pulling me close again
I know it's just fabric,
but it's all I have left
Of the girl who used to keep my heart safe
So I wear your old hoodie and pretend you're
still here with me
The drawstrings are frayed from the times you pulled them tight
When we'd watch old movies on a stormy Saturday night
Your pocket still holds that movie stuff from our first date
I run my fingers over it
like it'll bring you back someday
I lie accounting Harvey's
instead of sheep
Wondering if you're warm wherever you sleep
The hem is unravelling just like I am inside
But I can't let it go,
it's my last place to hide
From the truth that you're gone for good
I wear your old hoodie on the nights I can't sleep
When the bed feels too big
and the dark runs too deep
It wraps around the holes you left in my chest
Pretends it's your arms pulling me close again
I know it's just fabric,
but it's all I have left
Of the girl who used to keep my heart safe
So I wear your old hoodie and pretend you're still here with me
I should wash it, fold it, put it away
But losing your scent would kill the last of you that stays
So I'll keep wearing it down,
thread by thread Till there's nothing left but the ache in my head
I wear your old hoodie on the nights I can't sleep
It's colder than ever since you walked out on me
It doesn't fix the hurt,
but it dulls the ache Of living in a world where you're not
mine anymore One day I'll let it go,
but God not yet
Till then I'll wear your old hoodie
and miss you more than I can forget
It's just an old one I can't forget It's just an old hoodie,
but it's all I have
left
Of you
