Lyric

I found your jacket in the hallway

Still carrying the smell of rain

I smiled like nothing ever happened

Then folded it away again

The streetlights flicker through the window

Like words we never learned to say

I close my eyes and hear you laughing

Then watch the feeling fade

I hate that I still know your number

I hate the way my fingers wait

I tell myself that time has changed me

Then almost type your name

These are the postcards I never sent

All of the words I couldn't say

Little pieces of another life

I couldn't throw away

I keep them hidden in a drawer

Like something time forgot

Maybe I don't need you back

I just miss who we were

These are the postcards I never sent

And maybe that's enough

The moon hangs pale above the station

The last train disappears from sight

I changed my hair, I changed the playlist

Still something follows me at night

You said we'd meet when we were older

As if the years would make it right

Now every season turns without you

And somehow that's alright

I hate that I still keep the pictures

I hate that some still make me smile

I tell myself I'm getting better

And maybe that's not a lie

These are the postcards I never sent

All of the words I couldn't say

Little pieces of another life

I couldn't throw away

I keep them hidden in a drawer

Like something time forgot

Maybe I don't need you back

I just miss who we were

These are the postcards I never sent

And maybe that's enough

Maybe we were meant to happen

Not necessarily to last

Maybe love can leave a shadow

Without asking for us back

So if the morning finds me leaving

I won't turn around this time

I'll leave the unwritten endings

Somewhere between yours and mine

These are the postcards I never sent

All of the nights I couldn't name

Little pieces of another life

That don't hurt quite the same

I don't have to burn them down

I don't have to make them stop

You can stay inside the pages

Without staying in my heart

These are the postcards I never sent

And now I let them go

I found your jacket in the hallway

Still carrying the smell of rain

I smiled because it used to hurt me

Then folded it away again
