[Verse 1]

I can say it if you don't know how

Good intentions never make a sound

I thought nothing ever gets past you

So I thought you knew how to read my mind


[Verse 2]

What's the point, why do we even try?

Conversations on a loop, and I

Can't see a happy ending where

The credits get a round of applause


[Pre-Chorus]

And everything you want

It isn't here, I'm not the one

Don't get me wrong, we had our fun

But now I'm long gone


[Chorus]

What will it take for you to see

That I was always gonna leave?

I know you want this to be love

But it isn't me

And it isn't us

I think you need something I'm not

Or you just carelessly forgot

That just because you think it's love

Doesn't mean it is

Doesn't mean it was


[Verse 3]

I can tell that you romanticise

Every second that I look into your eyes

But you're not even thinking straight

I won't hesitate as I say goodbye


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause everything you need

It doesn't have to come from me

It's nice to say we had our fun

But when it's all said and done


[Chorus]

What will it take for you to see

That I was always gonna leave?

I know you want this to be love

But it isn't me

And it isn't us

I think you need something I'm not

Or you just carelessly forgot

That just because you think it's love

Doesn't mean it is

Doesn't mean it was
