Small Things (I Forget)

Takeout on the couch
Your hair on the pillow
The view from your house
How the city looked from your window
Your eyes in the light
The draft in your bedroom
You held me through the night
I would've frozen without you

There's something unsettling
About slowly forgetting thing
I thought I'd remember
But it's been a while since we were together so
All these moments are memories
I never thought I'd be treasuring
I didn't think closure would mean
Feeling nothing

Now I know
What I need
Is an empty head
Oh it's bittersweet
Up in smoke
Let me breathe
Burned a box of the shit you gave me
Got your favorite song
On the tip of my tongue
I can't remember your birthday
But still know the month
Bigger things
I can keep
Ever since you left
It's the small things I forget

An uncomfortable silence
Or shouts down the hallway
I thought love was like this
We were going the wrong way
Now I can't figure out
What half of our fights were about
Who said what to who
Really doesn't matter

Now I know (now I know)
What I need (what I need)
Is an empty head
Oh it's bittersweet
Up in smoke (up in smoke)
Let me breathe (let me breathe)
Burned a box of the shit you gave me (all the shit you gave)
Got your favorite song
On the tip of my tongue
I can't remember your birthday
But still know the month
Bigger things (bigger things)
I can keep (I can keep)
Ever since you left
It's the small things I forget

It's the small things I forget
It's the small things I forget
It's the small things I forget

("Moving on isn't growth... it's amnesia")
