The chorus expresses the singer's wish that their ex would stay in their memories so they could move on instead of continuing to show up and cause pain. Even though the singer tries to put their ex in the past, they are unable to escape the reminders of their relationship, such as the cologne their ex wore that is still on their clothes. The song ends with the singer allowing their ex to stay for the night, but it is clear that the singer ultimately knows they need to let go and move on from this toxic relationship. Overall, the song portrays the difficult journey of trying to move on from someone who continues to hold a presence in one's life.
