The idea of us

Lyrics

[VERSE 1] we met, we loved, we fought i really got to know you you let me in and i came straight through i gave you so many chances more than i should do but you didn’t really want me you liked the idea and i did too [VERSE 2] we talked like it was something we held it like it stayed but every time i reached you you were somewhere far away i kept hoping you would notice what i was trying to prove but you didn’t really want me you liked the idea and i did too [PRE-CHORUS] and once the line was crossed there was nothing left to say i knew it in my body before i knew the way [CHORUS] once it happened, it was over once i knew, i knew i had to say goodbye to us to save me and save you for your life for my life for the truth we couldn’t show once it happened, it was over and i had to let you go [VERSE 3] i’m sad about that moment i still turn it in my mind not because i think we lost love but because we lost the time and maybe in another version we’d have known what not to do but you didn’t really want me you liked the idea and i did too [BRIDGE] the idea of us was warmer than the room the idea of us left too much to lose the idea of us kept pulling us back through but the truth was standing there and i think we always knew [FINAL CHORUS] once it happened, it was over once i knew, i knew i had to say goodbye to us to save me and save you for your life for my life for the love we couldn’t grow once it happened, it was over and i had to let you go [OUTRO] you liked the idea and i did too you liked the idea and i did too i’ve realised i never knew i never knew i’ll never know
