Verse 1
High smoke fills the room
I'm thinking of you
And our time together
Winter comes and goes
And I know you know
Your heart's a feather

Chorus
Leave me with a broken heart
Wondering where the hell you are
I'd burn rubber on this car
If it'd lead me back to you
Leave me drunk and all alone
Stumbling, crying my ass home
Find your number in my phone
Hope you're thinking of me too
Would you be thinking of me too?
The chorus is raw and emotional. The singer's pain is front and center, showing how lost they are without the other person.

Verse 2
As I stare into the crowd
All I see are a bunch of you
They all look perfect
And I know you're home
Sitting all alone
Holding your heart while it's hurting
In this verse, the singer feels surrounded by reminders of their lost love. Looking at others who seem perfect emphasizes their own feelings of inadequacy. It’s painful to know that the person they care about is alone too, dealing with their own hurt. The imagery of holding a heart while it’s hurting brings a sense of shared sorrow, showing that both are suffering in silence.

I'm thinking of you
And our time together
Winter comes and goes
And I know you know
Your heart's a feather
So I was easy
'Cause if I wasn't, I knew you'd leave me
Leave me with a broken heart
Wondering where the hell you are
I'd burn rubber on this car
If it'd lead me back to you
Leave me drunk and all alone
Stumbling, crying my ass home
Find your number in my phone
Hope you're thinking of me too
Would you be thinking of me too?
As I stare into the crowd
All I see are a bunch of you
They all look perfect
And I know you're home
Sitting all alone
Holding your heart while it's hurting
'Cause I wasn't easy
And so I watch you leave me
Leave me with a broken heart
Wondering where the hell you are
I'd burn rubber on this car
If it'd lead me back to you
Leave me drunk and all alone
Stumbling, crying my ass home
Find your number in my phone
Hope you're thinking of me too
Would you be thinking of me too?
Would you pick up, would you call?
Take those pictures off your wall?
Would you move on and forget me?
Would you think of me at all?
Would you think of me at all?
Leave me with a broken heart
Wondering where the hell you are
I'd burn rubber on this car
If it'd lead me back to you
Leave me drunk and all alone
Stumbling, crying my ass home
Find your number in my phone
Hope you're thinking of me too
Would you be thinking of me too?
Would you be thinking of me too?
