empty pages

You remind me of someone I knew
Forgot her name, but it still rings true
And all I wanted to do
Was make up for what she knew
Now I see her silhouette on unsuspecting strangers
It's hard to forget when I'm tangled up in the things that changed her

And I could try my best to explain it
But I'd run the risk of losing breath on empty pages
Losing breath on no exchanges
Losing breath on no one waiting

Carved your name into my palm
So I'll forget it when you're gone
Sleep alright tonight
Dream a dream of you and I

And I could try my best to explain it
But I'd run the risk of losing breath on empty pages
Losing breath on no exchanges
Losing breath on no one waiting

I will pretend that I can push it down on my head
Under I tried, and drown the thoughts I spent
Days tryna forget
Will I see you?
Can you haunt me?
In the next life I'll say I'm sorry

And I, I can try my best to explain it
Run the risk of losing breath on empty pages
Losing breath on no exchanges
Losing breath on no one waiting
And I could tell you were hesitating
When you said I was the one you hated
