[Verse 1]
I hate the clean white walls
They make the silence loud
I miss the old familiar ache
The name I used out loud
I know that sounds so wrong
I know I should move on
But part of me still wants the storm
That made me feel so strong
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause fading feels like losing
A map I used to know
And every line that softens
Feels like letting go
[Chorus]
I miss the familiar
I miss the familiar
When hurt had edges I could hold
I miss the familiar
I miss the familiar
Even when it left me cold
[Verse 2]
I hate to watch the marks
Go pale beneath my skin
Like proof that I was once that girl
And now I live less in
The mirror feels too kind
Too bright, too easy, too new
And I don't know who I am
Without the bruise of you
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause healing looks like distance
And distance can feel wrong
Like I'm forgetting how to hurt
And how I got along
[Chorus]
I miss the familiar
I miss the familiar
When hurt had edges I could hold
I miss the familiar
I miss the familiar
Even when it left me cold
[Bridge]
But I am still here
Even if I shake
Even if the old ghosts
Try to call my name
Maybe I can miss it
And still let it go
Maybe fading isn't failing
Maybe it's a road
[Final Chorus]
I miss the familiar
I miss the familiar
When hurt had edges I could hold
I miss the familiar
I miss the familiar
But I don't want to be alone
I miss the familiar
I miss the familiar
And I'm learning to unfold
