Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up with the strangest feeling
Sick to the stomach, heart over-beating
I dreamt last night that I lost you, now I'm wide-eyed and my dreams are coming true
[Verse 2]
I fucked up and I left you lonely
Now this guilt-ridden anger’s gonna kill me slowly
I realise now, I had a lot to lose and all this time, I was just scared of loving you
Scared of loving you
[Chorus]
I’ve thought of running wild, but I'm no Casanova
Just a traveller trying hard to be a better man
Maybe it’s the loss, or the fact I’m getting older
Making it easier for me to understand
That life gets heavy when you’re turnin’ the tide
Take it from a man who's tried to fight and lost a thousand times
There ain’t no second prize
[Verse 3]
I see you in this home and it’s so hard
All my dad ever asks about is you and my car
The hardest thing I've had to comprehend was waking up and losing my best friend
[Verse 4]
And that’s a dangerous place to be after dark
So I went looking for comfort in another’s arms
I realised then that what we had was true and the whole damn night, I was just wishing she was you
[Chorus]
I’ve thought of running wild, but I’m no Casanova
Just a traveller trying hard to be a better man
Maybe it’s the loss, or the fact I’m getting older
Making it easier for me to understand
That life gets heavy when you’re turnin’ the tide
Take it from a man who's tried to fight and lost a thousand times
There ain’t no second prize
[Bridge]
I waste away something I should've been fighting for
While the taste of shame sticks around like it’s got nowhere to go
Worst of all is knowing you’re somewhere out there all alone
Somewhere out there all alone
[Chorus]
I’ve thought of running wild, but I’m no Casanova
Just a traveller trying hard to be a better man
Maybe it’s the loss, or the fact I’m getting older
Making it easier for me to understand
That life gets heavy when you’re turnin’ the tide
Take it from a man who's tried to fight and lost a thousand times
There ain’t no second prize
