[Verse 1]

I wasn’t growing at home, I was showing contempt

I couldn’t be who I was, you wanna know where he went

You wanna know where I go when I get outta my head

I wasn’t running away, kissed you goodbye when I left

Thought I’d be back in a week, now it’s anyone’s bet

It’s a sign of the times, It’d make ya depressed

Never wanted to go, didn’t want it to end

But when you fuck the way we fuck, it’s hard to go back to friends

When you fuck the way we fuck, It’s hard to go back to friends

I’ll always have a place for you though, I mean that

[Hook]

I won’t say I love ya

I’ll just say I’m thinking of ya

Just know I mean it

I couldn’t put no one above ya

I won’t say I love ya

I’ll just say I’m thinking of ya

Just know I mean it

I couldn’t put no one above ya

[Verse 2]

I always wanted to ask you though, like

You ever dream about?

What coulda happened if I hadn't took the scenic route?

Or even just delayed the flights by like a week or two

Pandemic, peekaboo

I know it happened but sometimes, it’s like I blacked it out

Feel like a boxer going 40 rounds

I couldn’t feel it then, it’s hurting now

Maybe it was premature the way we threw the towel

If you ever get sick of Dublin, hit me up and we can work it out

Something to think about

Maybe it’s a little late to show my interest now

You soft launch your new man up on your Instagram

And sure enough, you started taking all our pictures down

Change my name from Mr. Dandelion to Mr. Clown

See my reflection in the bottom of a pint

But only when I’ve drunk the Guinness out

You’re what London city’s missing

My heart’s been half poured, let it settle for a minute now

[Hook]

I won’t say I love ya (always)

I’ll just say I’m thinking of ya

Just know I mean it

I couldn’t put no one above ya

I won’t say I love ya

I’ll just say I’m thinking of ya (that's the truth)

Just know I mean it

I couldn’t put no one above ya

[Outro]

It’s always the case isn’t it?

Right when it works out

It doesn’t

What can I say, it’s timing

That’s the shit that keep ya up at night, no?

When it’s all perfect everything aligns and then what?

Pandemic

It’s bad timing, what can I say?

That’s it, it’s a killer when it’s just timing

If it didn’t work out it didn’t work out

But you don’t get that chance though

You just have to play it out

Over and over
