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
