lyrics

There’s a cork upon my dresser
From that bottle of champagne we drank
On the lake in our picnic filled canoe
There’s a journal in the top drawer
With your letters that remain unscathed
Marked in place with pictures from that Photo Booth

All at once I’m overwhelmed
I’m reminded why I can’t think about you
With all the shit I overthink,
This damn mind, oh what it puts me through

Still I know we need, a little space to breathe on our own
Still I wonder what you’re up to
Still up on this stage, Searching for a face that’s never there
Feels like I’m singing to an empty room
I meant it then, I always will
I’m sorry, I’m sorry still

There are photos from my hometown
Frozen moments of the love we shared
Unaware we had peaked inside those frames
There was hope within your whisper
As you told me how different things could be
Crushingly, I no longer felt the same

All at once I’m overwhelmed
I’m reminded why I can’t think about you
With all the shit I overthink,
This damn mind, oh what it puts me through

Still I know we need, a little space to breathe on our own
Still I wonder what you’re up to
Still up on this stage, Searching for a face that’s never there
Feels like I’m singing to an empty room
I meant it then, I always will
I’m sorry, I’m sorry still

This apology might not mean much to ya
When you’ve got a broken heart, words don’t heal
They fall on deaf ears, “I’m sorry” doesn’t make up for all the tears
But I’m sorry we didn’t work out, I’m sorry still

Still I know we need, a little space to breathe on our own
Still I wonder what you’re up to
Still up on this stage, Searching for a face that’s never there
Feels like I’m singing to an empty room
Without you listening, I'm singing to an empty room
I meant it then, I always will
I’m sorry, I’m sorry still
