[Verse 1]
I stay away from the city, it never feels like home
I know, it's kind of a pity, you say I'm missing out, but

[Pre-Chorus]
No point in trying to fix what ain't broken
No words to speak that haven't been spoken
No one can tell me who I was meant to be

[Chorus]
I said, "Take me back down to the water
Don't make goodbye any harder"
Don't make it harder than it has to be
This place was never meant for someone like me
Don't slow me down, I don't want it

[Verse 2]
I never took you for granted, I only wanted time
It seemed to me like you had it, you don't but that's fine

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no point in trying to fix what ain't broken
No words to speak that haven't been spoken
No one can tell me who I was meant to be

[Chorus]
I said, "Take me back down to the water
Don't make goodbye any harder"
Don't make it harder than it has to be
This place was never meant for someone like me
Don't slow me down, I don't want it
[Bridge]
There's no coming back for me
Don't hold on, just let it be
There's no coming back for me
Don't hold on, just let it be

[Chorus]
I said, "Take me back down to the water
Don't make goodbye any harder"
Don't make it harder than it has to be
This place was never meant for someone like me
Don't slow me down, I don't want it
I don't want it
