After that night, I never wanted another thing to do with you. I left no room for explanations or apologies. I just left you and got on with my life, letting the raw ache of heartbreak linger on. It was so stupid. I was an idiot to think it would be that easy to get the girl who I loved off my mind; I was also angry. Angry at Brody for kissing you and at you for letting him. Of course, I didnt know the circumstances. I still don't. But I know that I was leaving you with something, something that still stays with you. This is aftertaste.

It dawned on her that she still had so much of him left. His scent still lingered in untouched places around her house, still on the one shirt he never took back, everything he gave her. Paige realized he really did leave her with an aftertaste, and she was unsure whether to like it or hate it. Pressing play, Paige allowed herself to slip into a train of lyric driven thoughts.
Re-rewind Friday night, never forget it
How you let me go
No more lies I'll be fine I know where I'm headed
Probably should've known
And now you're gonna say, "Pretty, please forgive me."
Fool me once, told you twice you're gonna regret it
Now you're all alone, yeah
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
Close your eyes, you can't hide
Try to forget me, but I'm everywhere
I'm the smell on your sheets
you weren't ready when you left me there
And now you're gonna say, "Pretty, please forgive me." Yeah
Bet it hurts, it gets worse, you know nobody, said it would be fair, oh
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
And now there's something in your way
'Cause you threw it all to waste
And you wonder if you could take back what you did that day
And it hurts, 'cause...
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
Truth is that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
And the aftertaste
It hit her like a bomb. Her heart breaking in two again, needing the one person who could repair it.
Shawn.
