[Verse 1]
I try to hold my breath, but she reads between the lines
'Cause she loves cocaine and The 1975
And I should know better, but I'm blown away
When I can hold my own I might come back someday

[Verse 2]
Try to make ends meet in the streets I've never seen
I blurt out lies and I don't know why
Get out of my head and I'll get out of yours
You've learnt so much from the back of your credit card

[Chorus 1]
Should I bide my time?
Should I hold my tongue?
What if I let go and everything goes wrong?
Maybe she's in pain?
Maybe she needs love?
'Cause all the love I feel, I've got enough for both of us
Have I said too much?
Does she think I'm lying?
Has she ever seen a man when he's been struck by lightning?
And I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever be the same

[Verse 3]
I try to hold my breath but she reads between the lines
'Cause she loves cocaine and The 1975
And I should know better but I'm petrified, yeah
'Cause it's only when she's halfway dead that she feels so alive
[Chorus 1]
Should I bide my time?
Should I hold my tongue?
What if I let go and everything goes wrong?
Maybe she's in pain?
Maybe she needs love?
'Cause all the love I feel I've got enough for both of us
Have I said too much?
Does she think I'm lying?
Has she ever seen a man when he's been struck by lightning?
And I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever be the same

[Bridge]
She missed her train, she was sat in the front of the car
When she laughed I laughed too, so infectious
I said you're an addict, she called me pretentious
For using big words, the hypocrisy's tragic
I've lost my lid in the way that she lives
I hate what she takes, but I love what she gives me
My seatbelts on, has the moment gone?
'Cause for a second it was magic
For a second it was magic

[Chorus 2]
So I'll take my time
And I'll wait my turn
And I let her know before I get myself burned
Maybe she needs me
Maybe I need her
With all this second-hand love I've got enough for both of us
'Cause I said too much
And she thinks I'm a liar
Has she ever seen a man when he's been set on fire
And I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever be the same
[Outro]
And I'll never see her again
And I'll never see her again
And I'll never see her again
And I'll never see her again
Again, again, again
