[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 had’ve 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
