Penelope Tree - Like It Was Leaving lyrics

Artist: Penelope Tree

album: At Times We Sat in Silence


I'm not sure if I'm worth saving
Well who were you to talk me down 'cus now you're nowhere to be found
And even though you cross my mind every single Friday night
You're never coming back around
And I heard you told your friends that you don't think of me that much
And I rarely come up in conversation
I couldn't be the man that you needed
I'm so understated and so damn conceited
And like that empty picture frame you've been staring at for days
Can't hold on to a memory if you won't do the same
If this is just the past I better let it pass me by
I'll forget the way you held me until I fell asleep
And I don't look at my old sweater and think it looked better on you than me
I don't think about your family and what they think of me
And I don't miss you like you're coming back, every single week
Some things you can't forget, it doesn't do 'em justice to regret
I held your hand like it was leaving, but this feeling hasn't left me yet
You went from the reason I was quitting to the reason I smoke half a pack a day
And the ironic thing in that is: I never see anything through
But when you found strength in a cigarette what could I do but to simply copy you
They tell me that ghosts have no jurisdiction here
They still haunt the same rooms you used to
I'll forget you, or at least I'll try to
I'll forget the way you held me until I fell asleep
And I don't look at my old sweater and think it looked better on you than me
I don't think about your family and what they think of me
And I don't miss you like you're coming back, every single week
It's so damn vivid in my mind the way you crinkle your nose when it's cold out
But I sincerely don't remember how you take your coffee
I remember your favourite film
But it takes me a whole 30 seconds to bring back your middle name
It's killing me to know small parts of what you meant to me are slipping away
'Cus you may be fine, but I'm full of fear
Every day, every week, every month
And every single year
