[Verse 1]
You went and turned the red flag white, darling, and you waved it
You've always had a way with words
Why can't you explain it then?
I see your face in everyone, baby, and I hate it
Who would have ever thought I'd have to erase it? Uh
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little thing is reminding me of you
Yes, I'll set fire to my whole room (Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
I don't want to let it show, but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
[Verse 2]
I double take at every phone that rings out of habit
I can't shake the little things, they're harder to manage, woah
I can't bury the past, but I'll bury the hatchet
Can we just pretend that this never happened? Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little thing is reminding me of you
Guess I'll set fire to my whole room (Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
I don't want to let it show, but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
[Bridge]
So what are you doing tonight?
'Cause I miss you and I, and I can't even lie, I need you
I could get on a flight, I could make up the time
I know I'm out of line, can I see you?
[Chorus]
I don't want to let it show, but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
Baby, how do I let you go if I don't want to?
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
You went and turned the red flag white, darling, and you waved it
You've always had a way with words
Why can't you explain it then?
I see your face in everyone, baby, and I hate it
Who would have ever thought I'd have to erase it? Uh
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little thing is reminding me of you
Yes, I'll set fire to my whole room (Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
I don't want to let it show, but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
