[Intro: Spoken Word - Laura Whiteside]

You have sixteen new messages

First new message:

Why do I even bother calling you

I've called you sixteen times today

And I know you've been online

So stop ignoring me

[Verse 1: Ben Barlow]

I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement

Now you've called me up again

To remind me of the ways I fucked up

So then I'll take all the blame

It all just feels the same

And we move on

Then I screw it up again

Are you noticing a trend?

Should I go on?

So I said:

[Chorus: Ben Barlow]

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else

I keep trying to bridge the distance

You've been thinking about yourself

It's the way you want the world to be

It's the way you want the world to be

[Verse 2: Ben Barlow]

I'm the sinner, you're a saint

You will always have your way

Will you let go?

But when a cynic and a snake come together

It could take a miracle

But it only lasts so long

I know it won't be long 'till I screw up

Can we start it all again

And go back to when we were both wrong?

'Cause we're both wrong

So I said

[Chorus: Ben Barlow]

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else

I keep trying to bridge the distance

You've been thinking about yourself

It's the way you want the world to be

It's the way you want the world to be

[Bridge: FIl Thorpe-Evans, Ben Barlow]

And it all just seemed too perfect to be true

There's nothing perfect about me and you

And I tried to see the best

But I saw right through you

And I know I could be better

But you won't let me forget

That it always seemed so perfect when I played it in my head

[Verse 3: Ben Barlow]

You made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement

Now I'm walking out the door

Like all those times before

Guess I fucked up

So I said

[Chorus: Ben Barlow]

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else

I keep trying to bridge the distance

You've been thinking about yourself

It's the way you want the world to be

It's the way you want the world to be

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else
