Flashbacks waking me up

I get drunk, but it's not enough

'cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

I look through the windows of this love

Even though we boarded them up

Chandelier still flickering here

I dress to kill my time, I take the long way home
G
I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright, they say, "I don't know"

And what once was ours, is no one's now

I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town

You said it was a great love, one for the ages

But if the story's over, why am I still writing pages?

My heart, my hips, my body, my love

Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
G
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
C
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
C/B
Our songs, our films, united, we stand
Em F
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
G
Why are my fears at the touch of your hands?
C
Paper cut stains from my paper-thin plans
C/B
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Em F
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up

Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough
