[Verse 1] My hands remember you before the lights come on My mouth forgot the truth but still it sings along I keep a little summer underneath my skin And every time it fades, I let you pull me in You had a song inside your chest I used to know I wore it like a dress and called it coming home But something in the mirror never looked like me I only loved the sound of what we used to be [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look at me like I can stay I’m softer when I’m far away You hear a heart I hear a room Still ringing after you [Chorus] I don’t love you I love the echo The way it comes back When I let you go I don’t love you I love the feeling Your voice in my bones When the night starts breathing You think that I’m the one But I’m only passing through I don’t love you I love the echo of you [Verse 2] I saw the tears behind your smile and turned around I left before the silence could become a sound You held my name like glass between your shaking hands I said it was for you You don’t have to understand I’m not the girl who stayed inside your violet dream I’m just the shadow moving softly through the scene The room remembers better than my heart can do I touch the walls and somehow they still answer you [Pre-Chorus] Don’t call it love, don’t make it clean I miss the smoke, not what it means You hear a vow I hear a tune Still breaking after you [Chorus] I don’t love you I love the echo The way it comes back When I let you go I don’t love you I love the feeling Your voice in my bones When the night starts breathing You think that I’m the one But I’m only passing through I don’t love you I love the echo of you [Bridge] If I come close It disappears If I stay gone It keeps you here Isn’t it cruel Isn’t it sweet How memory lies With perfect teeth I almost loved you Or maybe I did But only in the part of me That wanted to drift [Final Chorus] I don’t love you I love the echo The way it comes back When I let you go I don’t love you I love the aching The shape of your hands In the space I’m leaving You think that I’m the one But I’m only passing through I don’t love you I love the echo of you [Outro] My hands remember you before the lights come on My mouth forgot the truth but still it sings along I keep a little summer underneath my skin And every time it fades I leave again
