Loose Ends

In love, when the going is tough

I wait till it falls on deaf ears

Hearsay, without the boundaries of love

My take is, I wish there was a better way

Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends

A lot of people that I wish I knew then

Friends back and every second you spend

Wetting the pen, every letter you send

Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends

A lot of people that I wish I knew then

Friends back and every second you spend

Wetting the pen, every letter you send

Yo, I been listening to Dreamy Days

Uh, in disarray

I realise it's everybody else who's still astray

I feel ashamed, I know there ain't no saving away

They went astray, I went Australia

So what I'm supposed to say to them?

Uh, when all this love's out of range

Everything around me changed, I'm supposed to stay the same

Turned down these free drinks I couldn't even name

And that, like all this money isn't ******* up my brain

I been going insane, shelf of a family remains

Broken hearted, seeing none of them again, uh

I pour a glass, stick my head out in the rain

Try and find another person I can blame

Sat up on this plane, uh

And yo, I'm praying that we don't crash

'Cause every night, I shiver at the sight when we go back

'Cause every night could be my last, and yeah I know that

So, I crack a smile 'fore it goes black, trust

In love, when the going is tough

I wait till it falls on deaf ears

Hearsay, without the boundaries of love

My take is, I wish there was a better way

Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends

A lot of people that I wish I knew then

Friends back and every second you spend

Wetting the pen, every letter you send

Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends

A lot of people that I wish I knew then

Friends back and every second you spend

Wetting the pen, every letter you send

Uh, I wish you'd been there when my dad had died

Uh, I wish you'd been there when my mother cried

Uh, I wish you'd been there in the drag of night

To see my side, look me in my eyes when I was paralysed

And tell me everything's alright and push it to the side

It's just a sacrifice, at times, I told a bag of lies

But not a pack of lies, but yours told a couple ones

Of course it was true, you only knew me from the drama ties

I feel an agonising risk, 'cause in a thousand

This is where I really wanna be when we were cracking wise

'Cause it was black and white, literally black and white

White from my mother and my father was the blackest skies

Skies, uh, I can see it's true

Uh, I see my mother up in you

****, I think my dad'd see it too

Yo, I just wish he knew

In love, when the going is tough

I wait till it falls on deaf ears

Hearsay, without the boundaries of love

My take is, I wish there was a better way

Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends

A lot of people that I wish I knew then

Friends back and every second you spend

Wetting the pen, every letter you send

Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends

A lot of people that I wish I knew then

Friends back and every second you spend

Wetting the pen, every letter you send

Imagine all the friends you see most

Each one you paying a wage

Depending on you putting pen to the page, uh

And so, you break it down, checking their paid

Another day, your heart break and you were sent to the stage

You feel that same rage

Watch the crowd, watch the stage

Thinking, ****, rather in the crowd with your mates drinking

Misbehaviours, catch another dame winking

You feel ashamed, guzzle Jagers, you're brain's sinking

You think it's deep, don't think it's depression

A misspent adolescence

But all this time, all this time, time's of the essence

You ain't never learnt from your lessons

You're stuck in that same quintessence

Heart break, one in the same

Days change, but you're stuck in a game

It's like, she's telling you, you're young enough to be at uni

Somehow, the one who sees through me
