  • Lay there, back of my mind, he stay there
    Pops up time to time like, "Hey there"
    Haven't seen you in two years, but, baby, we still breathe the same air
    New love and it's almost workin'
    And I never used to be this person
    But here I am
    Hands on my chest and my knees on the carpet
    Hopin' you'll stop it

    Dear God, take his kiss right out of my brain
    Take the pleasure out of my pain
    Take the way he'd used to say I love you
    Dear God, get his imprint out of my bed
    Take amazing out of our sex
    Take away the way I still might want to

    Flex all the memories, babe
    I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back
    To erase his name, I'd give it all, give it all, give everything that I have
    All my no good thoughts, I pray about, pray about, pray about, pray about that
    Take away the way I still might want to

    Hottest thing I've ever touched, just bein' honest
    Really tryin' be good, I promise
    That's why I'm here
    With my hands on my chest and my knees on the carpet
    Hopin' you'll stop it

    Dear God, take his kiss right out of my brain
    Take the pleasure out of my pain
    Take the way he'd used to say I love you
    Dear God, get his imprint out of my bed
    Take amazing out of our sex
    Take away the way I still might want to

    Flex all the memories, babe
    I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back
    To erase his name, I'd give it all, give it all, give everything that I have
    All my no good thoughts, I pray about, pray about, pray about, pray about that
    Take away the way I still might want to

    Dear God
    Dear God

    Dear God, I hope you're listenin'
    (I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back)
    I pray it ain't him I'm missin'
    Dear God, I hope you're listenin'
    (I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back)
    I pray it ain't him I'm missin'
    Dear god, I hope you're listenin'

    Dear God, dear God, dear God (I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all, I play 'em all back)
    I'd give it all, give it all, give everything that I have
    Dear God, dear God, dear God (I pray about, pray about, pray about) Writer/s: Grant Boutin, Julia Michaels, Ryan Tedder, Tate McRae
