about

A mellow-fi, soulful lament for a lost relationship.

lyrics

Said you loved me the same
But you let the love waste away
It didn't have to be that way
It didn't have to be that way
Took some time to lift the weight
Of all the things i needed to say
It didn't have to be that way
It didn't have to be that way

Baby, we’re caught up in all this traffic
It ain’t a one-man job, this baggage
It didn’t have to be that way
It didn’t have to be that way
Still out here looking for the magic
When all the fire’s burned down to ashes
Didn’t have to be that way
Somtimes I find it harder to erase
When I want you to stay cuz

Should've been forever babe
Forever babe
Wish it could've been that way

Though I knew that you wouldn't change, I couldn't give up
But I couldn't make myself stay, never felt enough
Even if for us its too late I hope we rise above
And you're better to your next love

The suns going down
And you’re not around
We’re in the same city
But it feel like you’re outta town
Such a shame, pity
How we had to go to the ground
Fled the castle of glass and you got rid of yo crown
I’m drawin blanks yeah I’m out of options
I know you feel the same - I can see you frontin
Girl I can feel your pain, a world of emotions, I’m trying to cope with to put things in motion

Yeah, yeah
Played out like a chain reaction
We changed opposite directions
Gettin' shortchanged, got the right place right person
But the wrong time but it's alright we'll be alright
No more reason to pretend, no mistakes to defend
Did our parts, broke our hearts, though we didn't intend
Its time to retire the excuses I'm tired
Burnt playin with fire, done with denial
This time it's final

Ooh, it should've been forever babe
Forever babe
Wish it could've been that way

Though I knew that you wouldn't change, I couldn't give up
But I couldn't make myself stay, never felt enough
Even if for us its too late I hope we rise above
And you're better to your next love
