Return to Sender

[Verse 1]
You left your hoodie on my chair
Still smells like you, it’s not fair
I read your name on every screen
Like a curse I can’t erase from me
I write “I hate you” in my notes
Then backspace every word I wrote
Sad little drafts I never send
Talking to a stranger, not my friend
[Pre-Chorus]
You folded us in half
Like an old receipt
Now I’m stuck between
What we were and what you did to me
[Chorus]
So I wrote you a letter, but I burned it up
Watched our history turn to dust
You don’t get to keep what you gave up
Return to sender, return to us
I signed it “forever,” then I crossed it out
You don’t get to know what I’m about
Every word I never said is loud
Return to sender, I’m sending you out
[Verse 2]
Your favorite mug is in the sink
Lipstick stains, I let it cling
Like I was clinging on to you
Knowing that you’d already moved
You said you “needed room to grow”
Funny how you shrank my hope
You moved on, I stayed in place
Now I’m mailing back your empty space
[Pre-Chorus]
You folded us in half
Like an old receipt
Now I’m stuck between
What I wanted, what you did to me
[Chorus]
So I wrote you a letter, but I burned it up
Watched our history turn to dust
You don’t get to keep what you gave up
Return to sender, return to us
I signed it “forever,” then I crossed it out
You don’t get to know what I’m about
Every word I never said is loud
Return to sender, I’m sending you out
[Bridge]
Lined paper, lined eyes
Every page, another lie
You don’t deserve my midnight cries
You don’t deserve a last goodbye (nah)
[Chorus]
So I wrote you a letter, but I burned it up
Watched our history turn to dust
You don’t get to keep what you gave up
Return to sender, return to us
I signed it “forever,” then I crossed it out
You don’t get to know what I’m about
Every word I never said is loud
Return to sender, I’m sending you out
[Outro]
Return to sender
Address unknown
Every “I love you”
