Rent Free Lyrics by Natalie Barth

The Golden Years

2022

[Verse 1]
At the time, it felt easier to let you go
Now I know that it was only gonna hurt us both
Wish I could go back in time and change it, but I can't
That night, when we watched our favorite band and cried
'Cause we knew that it was almost time to say goodbye
Went home, couldn't sleep, stayed up all night
[Pre-Chorus]
Told my therapist about you
Tried to explain all we'd been through
Tried to work on self care
I guess it's more than just dyeing your hair
[Chorus]
But you still show up in my dreams
I'm wasting sleep on "hypothetically", ah
Caught between that and reality
Is this your sick way of messing with me?
Oh, you still show up in my dreams
It's like you're living in my head rent-free
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do you ever think about me?
[Verse 2]
Saw you at that party with your new girlfriend
She was saying all the things that I never said
Hard to realize what you have 'til it's gone
Hate that we're back to being strangers again
This wasn't how it worked out all in my head
But I never thought that we would end
[Chorus]
But you still show up in my dreams
I'm wasting sleep on "hypothetically", ah
Caught between that and reality
Is this your sick way of messing with me?
Oh, you still show up in my dreams
It's like you're living in my head rent-free
Do I ever cross your mind?
[Bridge]
Can't help but think that you're better without me
I'm not so self-assured, but I'm sure that you might be
Part of me wishes that I could forget
Part of me wishes you were here instead
Can't help but think that you're better without me
I'm not so self-assured, but I'm sure that you might be
Digging over all the thoughts I didn't know I had
Oh, some part of me must still hurt pretty bad
[Chorus]
'Cause you still show up in my dreams
I'm wasting sleep on "hypothetically"
Caught between that and reality
Is this your sick way of messing with me?
You still show up in my dreams
I'm wasting sleep on "hypothetically"
Caught between that and reality
Is this your sick way of messing with me?
Oh, you still show up in my dreams
It's like you're living in my head rent-free
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do you ever think about me?
Don't miss me, apparently
