Lyrics: You Aren’t Mine (Demo) by Gracie Abrams
It's been good to know you This goodbye felt worst of all No defining closure No instruction manual If you thought to call me I would answer every time Breaking up is funny I forget you aren't mine I forget you aren't mine I forget you aren't mine I forget you aren't mine It's impossible to acclimate Every time we talk we understate How I know we both could die, we both could die But you told me that you felt the same When I told you how I needed space But I think it was a lie, it was a lie It's been tough to leave you Every empty Sunday night You come back in pieces Every detail amplified If you think to write me It would go internalized Breaking up is funny I forget you aren't mine I forget you aren't mine It's impossible to acclimate Every time we talk we understate How I know we both could die, we both could die But you told me that you felt the same When I told you how I needed space But I think it was a lie, it was a lie And it's wild how it dissipates How you're further from me everyday This could be the worst goodbye, the worst goodbye I don't even know what's left to say Cuz' we called it back then anyway Could you just remind why, remind me why It's been weird to miss you Hits me at the strangest times Seven years would cut through Other people like a knife If I try to meet you Couldn't look you in the eye Breaking up is funny I forget you aren't mine I forget you aren't mine
