She Wears Your Shirt - ArlenaZara
I saw the picture that she posted in the morning light
Standing in your kitchen after a stolen night
The sleeves are rolled up past her elbows hanging to her knees
The cotton that I used to wear to catch a summer breeze
I know the fraying on the collar
The button that is loose
But now she's wearing my safe haven like a twisted flag of truce
She wears your shirt
The one I bought for you
The faded flannel fabric that we gently broke into
She wraps herself inside the scent that used to be my home
And leaves me freezing in the dark entirely alone
It is the ultimate betrayal, it is the deepest kind of hurt
When I see her smiling
And she wears your shirt
I used to pull it from your closet when you went away
To keep your memory beside me through a lonely day
I know exactly how it feels against a naked shoulder
But looking at her in it now just makes the world real colder
You didn't just give her your body or your whispered little lies
You gave her the very thing I used to dry my crying eyes
It is more than just the fabric, it is the claiming of the space
It is the casual erasure of my memory and my face
You let her wear my armor, you let her steal my ghost
And gave the girl a trophy of the man I loved the most
'Cause she wears your shirt, the one I bought for you
The faded flannel fabric that we gently broke into
She wraps herself inside the scent that used to be my home
And leaves me freezing in the dark entirely alone
It is the ultimate betrayal, it is the deepest kind of hurt
When I see her smiling
And she wears your shirt
My favorite shirt
Draped across her skin
That is where the end begins
I am tearing up the picture
She wears your shirt
