I Don't Miss You

I saw you the other day 

in a basement lined with smoke

It was the first time in a year

and I could barely even look

We haven't spoken since last fall

but I heard you're doing well

And maybe it's not fair to say

but babe I'm proud as hell.

And I don't miss you but I might at well.

And I don't love you but I remember how it felt.

I got drunk the other night

and forgot how to sleep

I closed my eyes and waited

but it never came to me

I thought I'd dream of you

but I don't remember how you sound

So I listen to the absence 

of your voice in my house.

And I don't miss you but I might as well.

And I don't love you but I remember how it felt.

I saw you the other night

on a bookshelf lined with dust

The photograph had faded

and a crease divided us

I shuffled through that old shoebox

found some ribbon and your shirt

And I tried to read your letters

but I couldn't bare the words.

And I don't miss you but I might as well.

And I don't love you but I remember how it felt.
