[Verse 1]

I guess it’s true what they say

Fools rush in, and I’ll admit

I was one too

I was a fool for you


[Pre-Chorus]

And even though you're not around

You still manage to weigh me down

And even though I said goodbye

You didn't even bother to go and try to prove me wrong

Or did you know all along?


[Chorus]

That this was just a layover

Temporary, yes I'm sure

That's all it was

That's all it is

And now you're onto your next flight

And when I think that I just might

Miss you all over again

I tell myself that this was just a layover

This was just a layover


[Verse 2]

Would have been unfair

To let you leave me hanging

Pretending like there's no wear and tear

No consequence you have to bear

But I know I'm not that entitled

Cause we never did give this a title

Always in denial


[Pre-Chorus]

And even though you're not around

You still manage to weigh me down

And even though I said goodbye

You didn't even bother to go and try

To prove me wrong

Or did you know all along?


[Chorus]

That this was just a layover

Temporary, yes I'm sure

That's all it was

That's all it is

And now you're on to your next flight

And when I think that I just might

Miss you all over again

I tell myself that this was just a layover

This was just a layover


[Bridge]

I didn’t ask you to wear a crown for me babe

But maybe I did so internally

Oh I hope one day you’ll find the one

To be all that I couldn’t be

‘Cause now I finally see


[Chorus]

That this was just a layover

Temporary, yes I'm sure

That's all it was

That's all it is

And now you're on to your next flight

And when I think that I just might

Miss you all over again

I tell myself that this was just a layover

This was just a layover
