Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
So we have a day prepared
It's in your writin', don't forget
I know last time you had doubts, so you said
That you couldn't make it,
Lets do later instead
Right now I think you're the cause of my grief
And I haven't slept well for a week
You are somebody that I want to keep
But you said it's not deep and to that answer, I weep
[Verse 2]
It's weird how people still think it's pretend
The bond between us doesn't end
But they don't know the long distance we went
The one that we'll put behind us
Now that we're more than friends
I always wondered if we passed on the street
And I'd still never asked you yet to meet
But there's no other place I'd want to be
Than sat here replyin' to someone on a screen
[Chorus]
And I think I need a picture 'cause it's never enough
To see you smilin' in my mind when I lie still in the dark
It starts with you-ooh
Starts with you-ooh
I'm obsessed with the idea that one day it breaks up
'Cause after that, I know I'll never be as capable of love
After you-ooh
After you-ooh
[Bridge]
Three little words, dedicate them to me
Please make them personal then say them to me
My focus is everywhere, I'm not listenin'
I got a readin' on my palm just to see
Don't you read everything you're supposed to? (Three little words, dedicate them to me)
I'm wastin' away I feel pyscho (Please make them personal then say them to me)
I got a confession, I'm never givin' up (My focus is everywhere, I'm not listenin')
I just need to know if you're capable of love (I got a readin' on my palm just to see)
[Chorus]
And I think I need a picture 'cause it's never enough
To see you smilin' in my mind when I lie still in the dark
It starts with you-ooh
Starts with you-ooh
I'm obsessed with the idea that one day it breaks up
'Cause after that I know I'll never be as capable of love
After you-ooh
After you-ooh
[Outro]
Three little words, dedicate them to me
Please make them personal then say them to me
My focus is everywhere, I'm not listenin'
I got a readin' on my palm just to see
Three little words, dedicate them to me
Please make them personal then say them to me
My focus is everywhere, I'm not listenin'
I got a readin' on my palm just to see
Three little words, dedicate them to me
Please make them personal then say them to me
My focus is everywhere, I'm not listenin'
I got a readin' on my palm just to see
[Verse 1]
Say we had a date prepared
It's in your diary, don't forget
I know last time you were making your bed
So you couldn't make it isn't that what you said?
But now i think you’re the cause for my grief
I haven’t slept for a week
You are somebody that i want to keep
But you said its not deep
Into the arms that i weep
[Verse 2]
It’s weird how people still think its pretend
The bond between us doesn't end
But they dont know the distance i went through
Write your name in my journal
But you turned on each page
You still don't know me as we pass on the street
And you still havent asked me yet to meet
But there's no other place i want to be
Sat here behind you watching you leave the seat
[Chorus]
And i think i need a picture 'cause its never enough
To see you smiling in my mind
It starts with you
Starts with you
I’m obsessed with the idea that one day we'll break up
'Cause I thought that I know I'll never be as capable of love
After you
After you
