[Verse 1]
Can't erase your smile from my brain
So I just sit and lie awake
Watching the tears fall down on my pillowcase
Wondering who's there in my place
[Pre-Chorus]
And you build me up then let me fall down
It's like I'm screaming but it doesn't make a sound
You lied when you said you'd stick around
So I'll sit here, trying not to drown
[Chorus]
Now you're gone and all that's left are the words I wish I said
Like how much it hurt to watch you start to love me less
Now the pictures, they remind me of who you and I used to be
Now you're a stranger to mе
Now you're gone and all that's left arе the words I wish I said
[Verse 2]
Went from everything to nothing
I'm fighting just to feel something
It's so unfair how fast you moved on
Acting like somebody you're not
[Pre-Chorus]
And you build me up then let me fall down
It's like I'm screaming but it doesn't make a sound
You lied when you said you'd stick around
So I'll sit here, trying not to drown
[Chorus]
Now you're gone and all that's left are the words I wish I said
Like how much it hurt to watch you start to love me less
Now the pictures, they remind me of who you and I used to be
Now you're a stranger to me
Now you're gone and all that's left are the words I wish I said
[Bridge]
And I still wear your shirt sometimes
My heart still skips a beat when I think of who I knew
Now you're gone and all that's left are the words I wish I said
[Chorus]
Now you're gone and all that's left are the words I wish I said
Like how much it hurt to watch you start to love me less
Now the pictures, they remind me of who you and I used to be
Now you're a stranger to me
Now you're gone and all that's left are the words I wish I said
