Ed Sheeran - Old Phone Lyrics

 Ed Sheeran - Old Phone Lyrics

I found my old phone today

In a box that I had hidden away

Nostalgia trying to lead me astray

Maybe I’ll unwrite some wrongs

I charged the battery again

Combinations cause my passcode had changed

Opened up and saw familiar names

Now I wonder where they’ve gone

Conversations with my dead friends

Messages from all my exes

I kinda think that this was best left

In the past where it belongs

I feel an overwhelming sadness

Of all the friends I do not have left

Seeing how my family has fractured

Growing up and moving on

I found my old phone today

Arguments that I tried to keep at bay

The ones who loved me I just pushed them away

Couldn’t tell the difference from the leeches

My closed hand still holds some mates

But if I’m open it gets smaller day by day

I can’t tell if it is pleasure or pain

Trying to keep within my remit

Conversations with my dead friends

Messages from all my exes

I kinda think that this was best left

There in the past where it belongs

I feel an overwhelming sadness

Of all the friends I do not have left

Seeing how my family has fractured

Growing up and moving on

I found my old phone today

So full of love

Yet so full of hate

I put it back inside there from whence it came

Nothing good will come from regretting

Conversations with my dead friends

Messages from all my exes

I kinda think that this was best left

There in the past where it belongs

I feel an overwhelming sadness

Of all the friends I do not have left

Seeing how my family has fractured

Growing up and moving on

I found my old phone today
