I may have changed my number
But I know you have it
I know I said I wouldn't write
But I can't shake these habits
Same old notebooks filled with words
We're still empty, they still hurt
Snow falls on an empty street
I never smoked back then but now I'm two packs deep
Because cuts on the wrist never fully heal
And scars on the heart remind you love is real
And I tried to let go of a girl that I guess that I didn't know
And they say, and they say, and they say
Love dies just like a ghost, it fades away
But baby I'm still haunted
And I feel your presence every day
And now I wish that I could burn
With all the songs I wrote for you
But I wrote them all in pen
Because I trusted you
And I wish that I had learned
How to be a better man
'Cause now I'm out here on my own
Just a notebook and a pen
And so we lit a fire
And I watched it all go
And as the flames grew higher
I felt the breath catch in my throat
And I swear I would have cried
If I thought that you would care
But I was young and full of pride
Cursing at a girl that wasn't there
My friends told me if it runs don't chase it
The past only exists to erase it
And all this alcohol can't erase her
But I'll sure as hell try tonight
And they say, and they say, and they say
Love dies just like a ghost, it fades away
You've left this old house haunted
I guess I'll pack my things and move away
And now I wish that I could burn
With all the songs I wrote for you
But I wrote them all in pen
Because I trusted you
And I wish that I had learned
How to be a better man
'Cause now I'm out here on my own
Just a notebook and a pen
Yes I've kissed the lips of another girl
And I know you've been with another man
But what does that change in the end
And we both know you can do better
I can't let you go, never
And they say you don't always get what you asked for
And all I wanted was the truth
And it was you who said you can't always run from your problems
I can't believe I believed you
And now I wish that I could burn
With all the songs I wrote for you (songs I wrote for you)
But I wrote them all in pen
Because I trusted you (because I trusted you)
And I wish that I had learned
How to be a better man (yeah)
'Cause now I'm out here on my own
Just a notebook and a pen
I may have changed my number
But I know you have it
I know I said I wouldn't write
But I can't shake these habits
