The last time you spent the night
I'd remade the bed for you
Nice clean sheets and blankets
I wanted them to smell like you
For the night after
You would be gone forever
I folded the old sheets
Left them on the shelf
I didn't want to wash them
The smell of you too strong
I wanted to save it
They still sit there untouched
And I've just found myself
Burying my face in them
Pretending to wake up next to you
Just like i used to
I'm breaking down
Just like I'm used to
Make believe I'm okay
To hide in the shadows
I want to be alone
I want to be with you
I miss you
