on you
Jessi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Called last week said it was over
I kinda lost my composure
So I hung up on you
Drunk dialed you up last night
Brave but scared at the same time
I hung up on you
Still hanging out at the same bar
Drinking alone wondering where you are
How will I ever face the truth
When I still fall asleep in your T-shirt
Play our old song 'cause it still hurts
Not good at letting go, but I'm trying to
I'm hung up on you
Friends say I should start going out
Find someone new to hang around
To get over you but I'm
Still hanging out at the same bar
Drinking alone wondering where you are
How will I ever face the truth
When I still fall asleep in your T-shirt
Play our old song 'cause it still hurts
Not good at letting go, but I'm trying to
I'm hung up on you, ooh
You, ooh
You, ooh
Still hanging out at the same bar
Drinking alone wondering where you are
How will I ever face the truth
When I still fall asleep in your T-shirt
Play our old song 'cause it still hurts
Not good at letting go, but I'm trying to
I'm hung up on you, ooh
You, ooh




You, ooh
Called last week said it was over
