I found it
In the back of the closet
Still hanging where you left it
Like time just paused for you
I didn't think I'd feel this much from something you once wore
I pulled it close without a sound
Your old jacket that still smells like you
Like late night talks and something true
Your old jacket that I hold it tight
Like I can keep you here tonight
Here tonight
Worn out sleeves and faded seams stories in the threads
Every mark a memory of words you never said
Your old jacket that it brings you back
In every fold and every crack
Your old jacket that I close my eyes
And for a moment you're still alive
I used to think it was just cloth
Something you'd outgrow
Now it feels like everything I never let go
I never knew a scent could hold so much of who you were
And now it's all I have sometimes and it still hurts
So I keep it safe and close right where I can find
On the nights I miss you most it helps me every time
Your old jacket that I won't let go
'Cause in this fabric you still show
Your old jacket that through loss and pain
I find a way to feel you again
I found it
And I kept it
