For a second there I could swear that I felt you Running your hands through my hair while I held you And you say you need somewhere to stay so I play along But it’s late so maybe I’m wrong It’s 25 to 3 I don’t know what to think But you just make it feel all good And it’s getting out of hand Saying we could share our plans Look I don’t really know if we should All I know is you were giving me more than I’d felt before Than I thought you could Yet I don’t really recall how it started And it’s late at night, got that look in your eyes Feel your hand in mine when we turn off the lights Yeah I don’t really wanna know why we stopped it It’s been a couple months since the last time I met you Now you’re looking at me looking right back at you And I try to forget it all But you’re standing at the door And you’re asking how things are Well would you believe me if I tried to make it up Cos I’m falling into stories When really I’m avoiding That I don’t know how to sleep now And it’s slipping though my hands When I wish you’d understand Look I just wanna figure it out All I know is you were giving me more than I’d felt before Than I thought you could Yet I don’t really recall how it started And it’s late at night, got that look in your eyes Feel your hand in mine when we turn off the lights Yeah I don’t really wanna know why we stopped it If you’re asking me then please stay But if you’d rather leave then just say it Cos I know I get a lot when you just as on But it’s late so maybe I’m wrong All I know is you were giving me more than I’d felt before, than I thought you could, yet I don’t really recall how we lost it

Am I too much Or can I help Cos Honest I've got lots to say but I don't know how to say it that well I get caught up And I lose my chill Yeah I start making excused so I never have to tell you how I feel So let me take a second To let you know that You You're pretty fuckin' cool And I know that there's a better way to say that But I I've got nothing left to lose See it don't matter what I say, just know I mean it When I'm with you I tend to freeze And I get that it's annoying but I'm only tryna push you so you see That I know the truth It's why we drink And I know that you don't wanna hear it, but it's what you need So let me take a second To let you know that You You're pretty fuckin' cool And I know that there's a better way to say that But I I've got nothing left to lose See it don't matter what I say, just know I mean it Maybe I just lost my mind Looking for words I won't find Yeah can you even tell how hard I tried Look I don't think I got it right So let me put it how I like I'm so fuckin' happy you're alive So let me take a second To let you know that You You're super fuckin' cool And I wish I knew a better way to say that But I I'm done trying way too hard See it don't matter what I say, just know I mean it Maybe I just lost my mind Looking for words I won't find Yeah can you even tell how hard I tried Look I don't think I got it right So let me put it how I like I'm so fuckin' happy you're alive

I don't think of all the things that you did wrong Cos I know I see it from a different view Red wine, moonshine, getting drunk on a highlight Yeah it's alright until you're telling me that this isn't you And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try Not to make it too hard So I act like it's not a lot But it is to me You make it so hard to leave You make it so hard to leave You make it so hard for me You make it so hard to leave When you wake up in the morning Saying you don't want nothing to do with anything that happened It's wrong Why you coming back if you say that it means nothing at all You make it so hard to leave Dark skies, hard life, drunk talk, tell me more lies Yeah it's all fine until I'm laying on the sofa with you Red lights, green eyes, falling into the cold night Yeah it's alright until you're telling me that this isn't you I could lie, I could lie, I could lie, I could lie But you're making it hard To act like it's not a lot But it is to me You make it so hard to leave You make it so hard to leave You make it so hard for me You make it so hard to leave When you wake up in the morning Saying you don't want nothing to do with anything that happened It's wrong Why you coming back if you say that it means nothing at all You make it so hard to leave Why cut me off so fast When we keep running back Don't say it's not like that You know it is For me You make it so hard to leave You make it so hard to leave You make it so hard for me You make it so hard to leave When you wake up in the morning Saying you don't want nothing to do with anything that happened It's wrong Why you coming back if you say that it means nothing at all You make it so hard to leave

Highlights 03:01
Looking back on it now, I can see why you had enough And you’re allowed to be mad but it’s still on the both of us Could have changed, walked away, but we stayed and we fucked it up Head in rewind Running through the times I said I was done with you But then I think back to Last time when I told you I can’t get by While those eyes miss mine it got you kind of tongue tied So you can’t/won’t reply, just let that moment pass on by ‘Till next time A late night You, never done with you Look I’m not gonna lie, it was hard when we hit the fall, (I don’t know how it started) Gave it space, gave it time but we went and we lost it all, (I just know that I want it) I got a lot on my mind but I don’t want the back and forth Head in the clouds, feel it burning up I’m so fucking done with you But the I think back to Last time when I told you I can’t get by While those eyes miss mine it got you kind of tongue tied So you can’t/won’t reply, just let that moment pass on by ‘Till next time A late night You, never done with you And last night I got too drunk Fell in love With the thought go getting over what I want With someone that I don’t And she know it’s not her fault I was drunk I fucked up yeah I fucked up yeah I fucked up Last time when I told you I can’t get by While those eyes miss mine it got you kind of tongue tied So you can’t or won’t reply, just let that moment pass on by ‘Till next time A late night And if all this goes good we might end up where we should It’s forward but if its cool, I don’t want anyone but you yeah Oh my! It looks like, I’ve got feelings I can’t hide Cos you’re such A highlight

Budapest 03:04
My mind’s in Budapest Thinking ‘bout all the shit I wish I’d never said And I know you’d rather leave it but I’m Caught again, can’t forget, why you left I Don’t know what you’re thinking Yeah I keep falling backwards, focused on a high But if I called your number would you even reply Look I don’t wanna stop you but I’m not gonna lie I know I shouldn’t say it but I hope we haven’t fucked this up If I flew to Budapest Would you hold me there? Or am I coming on, way too hard Look I just wanna see you ‘cos I gotta ask ya, if you know what you want, ‘cos I don’t I thought that we could push it ‘till we made it work But I never learn Look I know it’s not easy, and this shit’s getting old When I just wanna see you but it’s irrational And I can’t stop this feeling but we know how this goes I know I shouldn’t say it but I hope we haven’t fucked this up And I never learn Saying we can push this down just never works Said it would it wouldn’t pass us by But you never called Never wanna focus on what you said you would Never wanna focus one it And I never learn Saying we can push this down just never works Said it would it wouldn’t pass us by But you never called Never wanna focus on what you said you would Never wanna focus one it

I’m always running back Can’t relax Wonder if you feel the same I find it difficult Knew I would Trying to forget your name Now all my thoughts are clear, yet tinted I wish that I could lay my mind to rest But I can hear your voice still, vivid It’s rushing through my head Ohhh, I’m unsteady Getting heavy Lord, but if you’re ready Don’t forget me Faith, I gave you all I got I’d hoped that you could see it Make me feel it Watch them coalesce And I fall apart Cos I’m lost with who you are Fuckin’ love that coat you bought What a shame it smells of cigarettes Whether you light it or not, light it or not, like it or not Whether you light it or not, light it or not, like it or not Whether you’re fighting it off, giving in or losing it all I can't’t leave you to the mess you left I try to let you go Kill the switch Works until the damage hits That’s just how it goes Sold my soul to a masochist So let me move around it freely I’m told I’ve fallen into fault, while you’ve regressed But even if your lungs sound different Let me hear the breath within your chest Faith, I gave you all I got I’d hoped that you could see it Make me feel it Watch them coalesce And I fall apart Cos I’m lost with who you are Fuckin’ love that coat you bought What a shame it smells of cigarettes Whether you light it or not, light it or not, like it or not Whether you light it or not, light it or not, like it or not Whether you’re fighting it off, giving in or losing it all I can't’t leave you to the mess you left Lord, but if you’re ready Don’t forget me
