With a catchy chorus and relatable themes of nostalgia, it's a song for anyone who's ever grappled with the memories tied to old love.
Verse 1:
I found your old notes tucked in my drawer,
Faded ink on paper, but the feelings are sore.
Leftover trinkets and reminders of you,
A time when we thought our love was so true.
Chorus:
I finally threw away your scrunchie,
But it felt like so much more.
I wonder if you still think about me,
My hoodies still hung up in your closet door.
I think you finally moved on,
But I'm still here dreaming, oh.
Verse 2:
Your favorite cup sits on my shelf,
I pour my coffee, pretending it’s someone else.
The laughter we shared echoes in my mind,
As I try to leave yesterday behind.
Chorus:
I finally threw away your scrunchie,
But it felt like so much more.
I wonder if you still think about me,
My hoodies still hung up in your closet door.
I think you finally moved on,
But I'm still here dreaming, oh.
Bridge:
Time moves on but these memories stay,
A ghost in the shadows, they never fade away.
I’m packing up my heart, piece by piece,
But the love we had won't ever release.
Chorus:
I finally threw away your scrunchie,
But it felt like so much more.
I wonder if you still think about me,
My hoodies still hung up in your closet door.
I think you finally moved on,
But I'm still here dreaming, oh.
Outro:
Yeah, I threw away reminders, but what do they mean?
When the past holds memories that still feel like a dream.
I finally thought I could move on with grace,
But every little thing still brings back your face.
