[Intro]

Nostalgic

'80s babies

True story

Come on


[Verse 1]

Look what you've done to me

I can't even keep in touch

I hate I just lost a very good friend

She could've been my one true love, yeah

Hey, she wanted more, but I wasn't ready

(Living my life. loving the fame)

Me keeping it real made her heart heavy

(I should have lied, stayed in the game)

And I can admit it, scared me when she said


[Bridge]

Where is this going?

I said I'm not ready

Ooh, she's leaving

Somethin' 'bout her clock ticking

And she wants children, oh


[Verse 2]

Look what you've done to me

You found you a brand new love

At least you call me every now and again

Ha, to playfully rub it in

But when I ask you are you happy

(There is a sigh, painfully yes)

But one year later, you got married

(I asked you why, you said you were pressed)

Now it hurts me when I hear you say


[Bridge]

You don't know where it's going (Yeah, yeah)

You're not ready

And you're leaving

Time is still ticking

But now you're expecting children


[Instrumental]


[Verse 3]

Now she's single

And I'm seeing more of her

(I realize)

The more time we spend together

The more I miss her

(Who she was)

It's not the same

She's changed

Now she got a daughter

(I'm wondering)

What role she'll play in my life

(And me and hers, and I don't know)


[Outro]

Where this is going

Now I'm ready

As a friend no more leaving

Break the clock, no more ticking

I'll be there for your children

Be there to hold you

Help you pick up your pieces

Oh, can't let it all fall apart

Yeah... [scatting]

Fall apart

Catch your pieces

Fall apart
