Back of My Damn Mind

I’ve been drinkin’, I’ve been smokin’,

Tryna kill the past you broke in.

Burned your pictures, changed my phone,

But you still won’t leave me alone.

Took your letters, set ‘em on fire,

Thought that’d burn out my desire.

But the smoke just spelled your name,

And here I am, stuck in this game.

Tore your name up off my skin,

Swore I’d never let you in.

But no matter how hard I try,

You’re still lurkin’ in my mind.

I’m tryna forget you, why won’t you go?

You’re stuck in my head like a song I don’t know.

Every time I feel myself movin’ on,

There you are, like a damn ghost hauntin’ my soul.

Got a new man, he treats me right,

But you still crawl in my bed at night.

I don’t call, I don’t text,

But you’re still runnin’ through my head.

Took your shit and threw it out,

Now I see your face in every crowd.

Tried to move on, play it cool,

But every love song feels like you.

Tore your name up off my skin,

Swore I’d never let you in.

But no matter how hard I try,

You’re still lurkin’ in my mind.

I’m tryna forget you, why won’t you go?

You’re stuck in my head like a song I don’t know.

Every time I feel myself movin’ on,

There you are, like a damn ghost hauntin’ my soul.

Whiskey don’t work, love songs suck,

Every damn thing just brings you up.

Drove 500 miles just to clear my head,

But even in the rearview, you’re not dead.

I hear your voice in the dead of night,

Feel your touch when I turn out the light.

I need you gone, I need you gone,

But your shadow keeps holdin’ on.

I’m tryna forget you, why won’t you go?

You’re stuck in my head like a song I don’t know.

Every time I feel myself movin’ on,

There you are, like a damn ghost hauntin’ my soul.

Why the hell won’t you leave me alone?

I ripped your name right off my chest,

But your memory won’t let me rest.

Every time I think I’m free,

There you are, haunting me…
