VERSE 1 Boy, let me go Should've learned long ago that boys like you don't change I'm not easy to give in, but I thought you were worth it Well I'm wrong, wrong, wrong. Boy, let me go You've got a tough hold and I'm tryna pull away, but I don't. A strong, quick glance, a boy I don't understand, But I'd wait up all night to make this man feel right PRE-CHORUS He's cold to the touch but I just can't get enough CHORUS How am I supposed to know? I let you in, can’t let you go / We both found what we were looking for Tell me why I let you in, so you could bring me down again It’s all a waste of time / Why don’t you apologise? VERSE 2 There's a girl in your dreams but that girl isn't me Do you see, do you see me at all? Will you break her heart too, Make her scared of what she's got to lose Relive the fight I fought for you PRE-CHORUS Back and forth and back again, Startin' to think it's all pretend. BRIDGE He's cold to the touch, but I just can't get enough We're back and back again...

VERSE 1 Take me back to summer’s when all we had to do was forget, but I can’t with you ‘Cause you’ve got other girls on your mind, I was just there to pass the time, but I can’t help myself. I don’t wanna be the one who has to spoil all the fun But I can’t with you Caught up in my head and sensible, got me feeling so replaceable, I can’t help myself. CHORUS Do you even know the way you got me outta control? Do you even know the way you got me, but I gotta let it go. VERSE 2 Pull me close and hold me tight, we don’t got much but we got tonight. I call you out on all your lies, but you wake me up with sweet goodbyes… You’re still the first to leave. BRIDGE You make it easy to not feel lonely… And it feels so much better when you’re there! And I don’t need to, need to need you. But it feels so much better when you care.

VERSE 1 I saw two lovers walking the street today, the way they looked at each other had me looking the other way. And it was kinda funny, ‘cause I remember clearly the way you looked at me, And I looked at her with jealousy. CHORUS ‘Cause you could’ve been the one, but we both had to move on. You could’ve been the one. VERSE 2 The smell of your hair, the sound of your voice makes me want you more. But all that I know is when she goes home the arms she holds are yours. And I know it’s dumb that I can’t move on, so I’ll keep quiet, but if I said I don’t want you, I’d be lying. CHORUS You could’ve been by my side, now I sit and wonder why. You could’ve been the one. BRIDGE And maybe I’ll wait up by my phone But we both know we’re better off alone. CHORUS. No matter where I go, you make sure your ghost follows, You could’ve been the one.

suddenly 03:29
Verse 1 I want you in dark lit rooms, in nights of only us I want jokes only we understand Victory days and nights we don’t plan And if being crazy and young is what you wanna do, then I’ll be crazy, but only with you. Chorus And suddenly I’m falling again And I don’t know what makes it different, but it does But it does Verse 2 I know how to read your eyes How little things can make it alright Just come and pick me up Just us is enough And we don’t need the parties, just for you to hold me Chorus And suddenly I’m falling again And I don’t know what makes it different, but it does But it does Bridge Simple things like walking me home And trying so hard when things come undone, Oh, you make things so different. Future plans that we shouldn’t make, They say we’ll fall through but we do it anyway, Oh, you make things so different. Chorus Suddenly I’m falling again And I don’t know what makes it different, but it does But it does credits

without me 03:27
VERSE 1 I don’t wanna point fingers anymore, all this back and forth, what’s it for? Fire tough words to cover up you're hurt I shouldn’t have to read between your lines. CHORUS But I see you everywhere and darling it’s not fair / they’re choosing sides like it’s a war, but you didn’t think we were worth fighting for I see you in my dreams / I hope you dream of me Don’t pretend my words were empty, like the world you left without me VERSE 2 You tell it how you see and I just can’t believe that you fire tough words, even when I’m hurt. I shouldn’t have to read between your lines. BRIDGE Call me out on what you made up / whatever I do, it’s not enough Tell them I’m not the same. Someone I’d give my life for brushed me off like they don’t care at all Tell yourself what you need / Tell yourself without me.

come back 02:47
VERSE 1 Hold me, how you know Don’t say a thing just come home I want the world only if it’s yours too, and all of my days to revolve around you. CHORUS I need your voice when I’m missing home, And in my quietest I’ve never felt alone. Don’t know if I’m enough, but can you take me somewhere no one else can touch? VERSE 2 Your silence is perfect, too. ‘Cause I’ll just sit and stare at you. If this is what they mean when they ‘jump in’. Then just know I’m all in. OUTRO Hold me, you know how / don’t say a thing just come back.
