[Intro]

(I should've told you)

(When I had the chance)

(Lost in the memories)

(ecnahc eht dah I nehw uoy dlot ev'dluohs I)

[Chorus]

I should've told you when I had the chance

Lost in the memories we don't have

I wanted to hold you in hopeless romance

Mmm, you fade like a ghost

[Verse 1]

I've been from London to Aberdeen (Wow)

Inside a coupe, and from inside a private limousine (Cool?)

Do you think it really matters if I wear designer? (No)

'Cause I don't, if I don't have her, what's the point of finеr things? (Things, things)

I'm ex-nihilo, like Augustine (Amеn)

But I confess, I haven't been the best internally (Why not?)

I keep seeing two moons in my dreams (Again?)

Can you tell me what they really mean?

[Chorus]

I should've told you when I had the chance

Lost in the memories we don't have

I wanted to hold you in hopeless romance

Mmm, you fade like a ghost

[Bridge]

Can you catch me when I fall? (Fall)

I'm in love with the idea (Idea)

Of who you are (I'm in love with a lie)

I tried to look the other way

But I'm lying to myself

I never wanted it to end

[Verse 2]

I had no other option

I had to find a way to leave before you walked in

At the end, the chase was all I really wanted

But it's too late for that, you give heart attacks

And I find it hard to sleep (It's hard to sleep, it's hard to sleep)

'Cause I'm afraid of ghosts, and I can hear you talkin' (Blah, blah, blah, blah)

So perpetual, you show no sign of stoppin' (Stop)

It's too late for that (Fuck), can't you understand? (Ah)

[Chorus]

I should've told you (Told you, told you)

When I had the chance (I had the chance, I had the chance)

Lost in the memories we don't have (Never had it, never have)

I wanted to hold you (I wanted holding onto hope) in hopeless romance (Hopeless romance)

Mmm, you fade like a ghost (Like a ghost, like a ghost)

[Post-Chorus]

(Ah, ah, you fade like a ghost)

(Ah, ah, you fade like a ghost)

[Bridge]

(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

(I should've told you)

(When I had the chance)

(Lost in the memories we don't ha—)

[Outro]

You could at least just make it easy (Easy)

You know I hate bein' so needy (Needy)

Got my attention on a leash and I don't want it back

Unintentionally actin' creepy (Creepy)

In front of her, but she can't see me (Can't see)

I think she thinks I'm on the spectrum (I was the ghost)

I'm pretty sure she wants to leave (It's been me)

And I don't blame her
