Paroles de la chanson Charlie par Devon Gabriella

I had a dream that you were off your face
Your cheeks were burning red and you were saying my name
Almost called to ask if you're okay
I know it's not my place, it's for the better, babe

Now he's reaching down to touch my jeans
And I like the way it's hard to breathe
Then I close my eyes but all I see is you
And navy blue

I don't love you anymore, but when Charlie takes your shape
I'm still waiting for my body to play catch-up with my brain

It's a game of tug of war, a spiked fever I can't break
Something bittersweet stuck in my teeth, a stubborn aftertaste
And I want him to stay, won't you let me catch a break?
If I don't love you anymore
Why are you still in the way?

I choose to chalk it up to force of habit
Five years of practice, still breaking the pattern
When I say your name by accident
Oh, I swear it's not a Freudian slip
'Cause I promised that I'm over it
I stopped crying, it took time, but

I don't love you anymore, but when Charlie takes your shape

I'm still waiting for my body to play catch-up with my brain
It's a game of tug of war, a spiked fever I can't break
Something bittersweet stuck in my teeth, a stubborn aftertaste
And I want him to stay, won't you let me catch a break?
If I don't love you anymore

And I almost called him by your name
Subconscious curse or a ghost of shame?
I'll just live with a steady ache
Maybe I'll just live with a steady ache
All the life we lost and the love we made
What if I never find escape?
I'll just live with a steady ache
Maybe I'll just live with a steady ache

I don't love you anymore, but when Charlie takes your shape
I'm still waiting for my body to play catch-up with my brain
It's a game of tug of war, a spiked fever I can't break
Something bittersweet stuck in my teeth, a stubborn aftertaste
And I want him to stay, won't you let me catch a break?
If I don't love you anymore
Why are you still in the way?

Mm, mm
Why are you still in the way?
Mm, mm
