Blue Sweater

[Verse 1]
Your blue sweater's still on the chair
Hangs like you left it, like you're still there
I tried to fold it, but I just froze
'Cause letting go feels too close
[Pre-Chorus]
I swore I’d box up everything
But this thread still pulls my memory
[Chorus]
That blue sweater, worn and torn
Still smells like rain and cheap cologne
It’s the only thing you left behind
That still fits the shape of time
I wear it just to feel you near
Even though you're not here
[Verse 2]
You always said it kept you warm
Even when the world felt cold and wrong
Now I wear it when I can't sleep
Hoping it'll carry pieces of your peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I try to tuck it away
But it keeps calling out your name
[Chorus]
That blue sweater, soft and worn
Still holds the nights we once adorned
It’s the only thread I still don't break
The one goodbye I couldn’t take
I wear it just to feel you near
Even though you're not here
[Bridge]
And I know it’s just a piece of cloth
But some things you love, you never wash
It holds the weight of what we were
Each fray a word I never heard
[Final Chorus – stripped and emotional]
That blue sweater, faded thin
Still wraps me up like your old grin
It’s the only thing that ever stayed
When everything else slipped away
I wear it just to hold you near
Even though you're not here
