I have been going on many dates with pretty girls
(every person I go out with looks a little bit like you)
sometimes you do not show up in my dreams
(I try my best to make sure I can see you after I fall asleep)
I can carry a conversation without even referring to you at all
(I repeat the phrases you like to say)
your favourite artist no longer reminds me of you
(I bought the vinyl of your favourite album of theirs and cried)
I can go to a restaurant you used to talk about
(I tell the server you recommended it)
my last hookup was good
(I selfishly pretended it was you the entire time)
