Spare Key

Spare Key lyrics

Verse 1

You left the spare key
in an envelope, no note
I told myself I was done
then I read it like a joke
I acted cool
but I was not cool at all

Chorus

You left the spare key
and I still want you back
You left the spare key
that’s the part that hurts me bad
I say I’m fine, I lie
I say I’m through, I’m not

Verse 2

I do the whole strong thing
for about ten seconds
then your name shows up
and I start backsliding
I hate that I do
I hate how fast I fold

Pre-Chorus

I should throw it away
I should be proud enough
But I keep holding on
like that would make it love
And I know better
I know better than this

Chorus

You left the spare key
and I still want you back
You left the spare key
that’s the part that hurts me bad
I say I’m fine, I lie
I say I’m through, I’m not

Bridge

No, I’m not over you
I just got better at hiding it
I still check my phone
like you might decide to call
And if I sound cold
that’s just me trying not to fall

You left the spare key
and I still want you back
You left the spare key
that’s the part that hurts me bad
I say I’m fine, I lie
I say I’m through, I’m not
You left the spare key
and I never gave it back
