All the things I've never said to you,
That you mattered to me,
That you saved me
When I was drowning, so quickly in a poisonous sea.
You tried to talk me through it all,
I didn't wanna lean on you,
Every single time I would turn around,
Watch me walk away.
About that night, my friends and I got drunk on wine,
You and I kept looking in each other's eyes, why?
I tried to prevent my heart from beating at the sound of your guitar,
Couldn't help but come back for your strong arms,
It was doomed right from the start.
But I can't erase...
That look you'd give me everytime I'd walk in,
Used to kiss me, hug me, I would dive in,
Would drown in the colour of your eyes,
You were so cool, I was so blind.
That time you appeared on the corner of the street,
Looking down, your hands stuck in the pockets of your jeans,
Your smile burnt me up, I was so messed up,
I only tried to see it through.
All the things I could never let out,
You were the one I needed
when I was breaking down,
Out of sight, I was losing my fire.
I tried my best to hide the pain away
but I wanted you to hold me tight every week or two,
Back then you could see through me clearly.
'When did we go wrong?'
This thought kept coming back around
like a shark circling around a sinking ship
It'd never leave the back of my mind,
Oh my heart still breaks a little
when I hear your name.
On the tube I used to look around
to find your face in the crowd
and I would think to myself,
'I can't forget...
That look you'd give me everytime I'd walk in,
Used to kiss me, hug me, I would dive in,
Would drown in the colour of your eyes,
You were so cool, I was so blind.
That time you appeared on the corner of the street,
Looking down, your hands stuck in the pockets of your jeans,
Your smile burnt me up, I was so messed up,
I only tried to see it through.'
And that night you were running down the street,
You were breathless, I got speechless, I let down my guard.
'This time,' I thought, 'it is bound to be better'
But everytime you'd try to come closer,
I'd still push you a little bit further away.
I hope you can hear me, oh hear me out,
I'm so sorry for the way things turned out,
I hope you know I'll always remember...
That look you'd give me everytime I'd walk in,
Used to kiss me, hug me, I would dive in,
Would drown in the colour of your eyes,
You were so cool, I was so blind.
That time you appeared on the corner of the street,
Looking down, your hands stuck in the pockets of your jeans,
Your smile burnt me up, I was so messed up,
Oh can you see through me now?
