  • Hm-mm
    No, no, no

    Balloons are deflated
    Guess they look lifeless like me
    We miss you on your side of the bed, hmm
    Still got your things here
    And they stare at me like souvenirs
    Don't wanna let you out my head

    Just like the day that I met you, the day I thought forever
    Said that you love me, that'll last for never
    It's cold outside like when you walked out my life
    Why you walk out my life?

    I get like this every time
    On these days that feel like you and me
    Heartbreak anniversary
    'Cause I remember every time
    On these days that feel like you and me
    Heartbreak anniversary, do you ever think of me? Yeah
    (Oh-ooh) yeah, yeah
    (Ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh) no

    I'm buildin' my hopes up
    Like presents unopened 'til this day
    I still see the messages you read, hm
    I'm foolishly patient (foolishly patient)
    Can't get past the taste of your lips (taste of your lips)
    And don't wanna let you out my head

    Just like the day that I met you, the (day I thought forever)
    Said that you love me (that'll last for never)
    Oh, it's cold outside (like when you walked out my life)
    Why you walk out my life? (My life)

    I get like this every time
    On these days that feel like you and me
    Heartbreak anniversary
    'Cause I remember every time
    On these days that feel like you and me
    Heartbreak anniversary, do you ever think of me? Yeah
    Yeah, mm, mm Writer/s: Giveon Evans, Maneesh Bidaye, Rupert Thomas Jr., Varren Wade
