Thenineteenseventyfive

I try to hold my breath, but she reads between the lines

'Cause she loves cocaine and The 1975

And I should know better but I'm blown away

When I can hold my own, I might come back someday

Try to make ends meet in the streets I've never seen

I blurt out lies and I don't know why

Get out of my head and I'll get out of yours

You've learnt so much from the back of your credit card

Should I bide my time? Should I hold my tongue?

What if I let go and everything goes wrong?

Maybe she's in pain, maybe she needs love

'Cause all the love I feel, I've got enough for both of us

Have I said too much? Does she think I'm lying?

Has she ever seen a man when he's been struck by lightning?

And I'll never ever, ever, ever, ever be the same

I try to hold my breath, but she reads between the lines

'Cause she loves cocaine and The 1975

And I should know better but I'm petrified, yeah

'Cause it's only when she's halfway dead that she feels so alive

Should I bide my time? Should I hold my tongue?

What if I let go and everything goes wrong?

Maybe she's in pain, maybe she needs love

'Cause all the love I feel, I've got enough for both of us

Have I said too much? Does she think I'm lying?

Has she ever seen a man when he's been struck by lightning?

And I'll never ever, ever, ever, ever be the same

She missed her train, she was sat in the front of the car

When she laughed, I laughed too, so infectious

I said, "You're an addict," she called me pretentious

For using big words, the hypocrisy's tragic

I've lost my lid in the way that she lives

I hate what she takes, but I love what she gives me

My seatbelt's on, has the moment gone?

'Cause for a second it was magic, for a second it was magic

So I'll take my time and I'll wait my turn

And I'll let her know before I get myself burned

Maybe she needs me, maybe I need her

With all this secondhand love, I've got enough for both of us

'Cause I said too much and she thinks I'm a liar

Has she ever seen a man when he's been set on fire?

And I'll never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be the same

And I'll never see her again

And I'll never see her again

And I'll never see her again

And I'll never see her again, again, again, again
