lyrics

ex girlfriends are a particular breed of ghost
she walks unbidden through your memories
and leaves her perfume in the bottles of other women

you move through her favourite positions
with your new lovers
like a dance that your bones cannot forget

the ability to overwrite somehow has broken
you try not to forget to feel (try not to forget to feel)
the new body, softly

you tried to forget her face but it is written next to
that pure first love she gave to you
and her laugh out loud
and her grunt and yell and

i am an echo
i know

ex girlfriends are an empty house
they leave a light on in the upstairs window and run their fingers through the curtains
and in your mind you're still walking through those rooms

i hear you telling me she's nothing to you now
just try not to forget to feel (try not to forget to feel)
my body
and my pure love that i gave to you
and my laugh out loud
and my grunt and yell and

i am an echo
i know
