[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold on the table
Your name still burns my tongue
Every street’s a little cradle
Rocking me back to when we were young
I talk to the empty doorway
Like you might wander through
Every joke I start to tell now
Just falls apart without you
[Chorus]
It’s this smile I can’t forget
Keeps on shining in my head
Every night I try to leave you
But I circle back instead (oh, I circle back instead)
I’m so tired of being the fool
Loving you from across that room
My heart is broken
Darling
You were love
I was the blues
[Verse 2]
You laughed and you touched his shoulder
I laughed like it didn’t sting
Walked home slower in the evening
Kicking cracks in everything
Friends say
“You’ll find another”
Change my shirt
But not my mind
Every mirror in this bedroom
Shows me who you left behind
[Chorus]
It’s this smile I can’t forget
Keeps on shining in my head
Every night I try to leave you
But I circle back instead (oh, I circle back instead)
I’m so tired of being the fool
Loving you from across that room
My heart is broken
Darling
You were love
I was the blues
[Bridge]
Tell me
How do I lose
The way your eyes found light
How do I move
When every move
Leads me back to that night (yeah)
[Chorus]
It’s this smile I can’t forget
Keeps on shining in my head
Every night I try to leave you
But I circle back instead
I’m so tired of being the fool
Loving you from across that room
I’m still lost here in your echo
You were love
I was the blues (oh, you were love)
