What We Had

Oh picture perfect on the brain

I fall, but I could walk away

Why do I always set the same old fire alight?

I never thought I’d see the day

But I close my eyes and then you change

I hope you know that this time I won’t wait

Tonight, won’t you stay a little longer

I’m not sure that you’d mind

Cos I’ll leave behind

So won’t you take me back to what we had

I’ll be mourning in the middle of the night

And don’t you hold me back you never have

We’ll keep going but we’re never asking why

You and your imperfecting ways

You know they’re driving me insane

Don’t wanna say this but I think we’re made to break

I hate to throw it all away

But I haven’t figured out me yet

It means there’s only so much I can take

Tonight, won’t you stay a little longer

I’m not sure that you’d mind

Cos I’ll leave behind

So won’t you take me back to what we had

I’ll be mourning in the middle of the night

And don’t you hold me back you never have

We’ll keep going but we’re never asking why

And although we haven’t spoke in a while

I know we’ll keep this ghost alive

So won’t you take me back to what we had

I wish we’d stumble back

To those times where I knew you’d need me

And if we both burn out

I never thought I’d be the one who’s leaving

So won’t you take me back to what we had

I’ll be mourning in the middle of the night

And don’t you hold me back you never have

We’ll keep going but we’re never asking why

And although we haven’t spoke in a while

I know we’ll keep this ghost alive

So won’t you take me back to what we had
