Aftertaste
Lyrics
Re-rewind Friday night, never forget it
How you let me go
No more lies, I'll be fine, know where I'm headed
Probably should've known
And now you're gonna say, pretty, please forgive me, yeah
Fool me once, told you twice you're gonna regret it
Now you're all alone, yeah
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes, sing it out
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
Close your eyes, you can't hide, try to forget me
But I'm everywhere
I'm the smell on your sheets, you weren't ready
When you left me there
And now you're gonna say, pretty, please forgive me, yeah, yeah
Bet it hurts, it gets worse, you know nobody
Said it would be fair, oh, yeah
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
And now there's something in your way
'Cause you threw it all to waste
And you wonder if you could take back what you did that day
And it hurts, 'cause
Truth is that no one can replace me
I'm permanent, you can't erase me
I'll help you remember me, sing it out
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory
And the aftertaste
Thank you
