Bracelet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn't know what I wanted, I'll admit that
Still don't know what I'm wantin'
I'll be honest, I'm not ready to let you go

[Pre-Chorus]
I walk down memory lane late at night
I end up losing my way every time
I wake up missing you more
Oh, why did I say goodbye?

[Chorus]
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I let you go but baby, I'm gonna wear it
Until I don't need to
Until I don't need you
All I know is I can't face it
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I let you go but baby, I'm gonna wear it
Until I don't need to
Until I don't need you

[Verse 2]
Anyway I could toss it, I'll admit that
That don't mean that I need to
Keep you wrapped around my wrist
Oh no (No)
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk down memory lane late at night
I end up losing my way every time
I wake up missing you more
Oh, why did I say goodbye?

[Chorus]
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I let you go but baby, I'm gonna wear it
Until I don't need to
Until I don't need you
All I know is I can’t face it 
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I let you go but baby, I'm gonna wear it 
Until I don’t need to 
Until I don’t need you

[Bridge]
And another day is passing by
Oh, I still need you
Oh, I still need you
And another day is passing by
Oh, I still need you
Oh, I still need you
All of these Melatonin tears I cry
Oh, I still need you
Oh, I still need you

(Oh, I still need you)
[Chorus]
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I let you go but baby, I'm gonna wear it
Until I don't need to
Until I don't need you
All I know is I can't face it
I used to have you, now I have this bracelet
I let you go but baby, I'm gonna wear it
Until I don't need to
Until I don't need you

[Outro]
I walk down memory lane late at night
I end up losing my way every time
I wake up missing you more, missing you more
Oh, is it goodbye?
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Is it goodbye?
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Missing you more oh, why?
