How you let me go
No more lies I'll be fine I know where I'm headed
Probably should've known
Now you're gonna say pretty please forgive me
Fool me once told you twice you're gonna regret it
Now you're all alone, yeah
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent you can't erase me
I'll have you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory and the aftertaste
Close your eyes, you can hide
Try to forget me, but I'm everywhere
I'm the smell on your sheets you regretted
When you left me there
Now you're gonna say pretty please forgive me, yeah
But it hurts it gets worse you know nobody
Said it would be fair, oh
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent you can't erase me
I'll have you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory and the aftertaste
And now there's something in your way
'Cause you threw it all to waste
And you wonder if you could take back what you did that day
And it hurts 'cause
Turns out that no one can replace me
I'm permanent you can't erase me
I'll have you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory and the aftertaste
Truth is that no one can replace me
I'm permanent you can't erase me
I'll have you remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
I'll leave you with the memory and the aftertaste
And the aftertaste
The lyrics to Shawn Mendes's song "Aftertaste" describe the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer is still bitter about the way things ended on a Friday night, despite his ex-girlfriend's attempts to reconcile. He asserts confidently that he knows where he is headed now that she's out of his life, but it's clear from the rest of the lyrics that he's still hung up on her. He taunts her by saying that no one can replace him and that he is "permanent" - a painful reminder of what she's lost.
As the song progresses, the singer seems to flip between anger and sadness. He tells his ex that she'll regret letting him go, but also admits that he's hurt by what's happened. He refers to the "smell on your sheets," suggesting that he's still very much a physical presence in her life, even though they are no longer together. He seems almost vindictive in his desire to leave her with a lingering memory of him, represented by the "aftertaste" of their relationship. By the end of the song, he has softened a little, acknowledging that it hurts to think about what might have been, but still insisting that she will never be able to erase him completely.

Rewind, Friday night never forget it
Let's go back to that Friday night that you shouldn't forget
How you let me go
Reflecting on how you could let me go
No more lies I'll be fine I know where I'm headed
I won't deal with your lies anymore as I know where I'm headed
Probably should've known
Maybe I should have been aware of your true intentions
Now you're gonna say pretty please forgive me
You will now plead with me to forgive you
Fool me once told you twice you're gonna regret it
You won't get the chance to fool me again and will regret your actions
Now you're all alone, yeah
Now you are experiencing solitude
Turns out that no one can replace me
The realization that no one can replace me
I'm permanent you can't erase me
I'm here to stay, you cannot erase me
I'll have you remember me
You will always remember me
One more kiss is all it takes
A single kiss can bring back all the memories
I'll leave you with the memory and the aftertaste
I'll leave you with the memories, good or bad, that linger even after I'm gone
Close your eyes, you can hide
You can try to hide, but closing your eyes won't make me disappear
Try to forget me, but I'm everywhere
You might try to forget me, but I'm still everywhere you look
I'm the smell on your sheets you regretted
I'm the smell on your sheets that reminds you of memories you regret
When you left me there
When you left me and our memories behind
But it hurts it gets worse you know nobody
It hurts and the pain only gets worse, and nobody said it would be easy
Said it would be fair, oh
Nobody said it would be fair, and it isn't
And now there's something in your way
Something is stopping you now
'Cause you threw it all to waste
All of this is wasted now because of your own actions
And you wonder if you could take back what you did that day
You regret what you did, and wish you could undo it
And it hurts 'cause
It hurts because of what you did
Truth is that no one can replace me
The truth is that nobody can replace me
I'll have you remember me
I'll be unforgettable, and you will always remember me
And the aftertaste
And the lingering memories that stay even after I'm gone
