Closure
Alec Chambers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You texted me at a quarter to three
What you always do, girl, you confuse me
Lovinโ€ฒ you makes me feel used up, yeah
But that's just what we do and itโ€ฒs up to us
My head spins with every word you write
'Cause everything we had felt like a big mistake
Say goodbye to such a love so strong
Turn on myself, with you I don't know where Iโ€ฒve gone

You got a way of makinโ€ฒ me feel like shit
If this is over then I have to get over
I just want some closure
Won't you take a close up?
If itโ€ฒs really over tell me when I let go
I want some closure
I hate to say I told ya
But I need to get sober
Tell me when do I let go
Man, I just want some closure
Won't you take a close up
If itโ€ฒs really over
Tell me when do I let go
I mentioned my composure
I hate to say I told ya
I need to get sober
Tell me when do I let go
Man, I just want some closure

Like a drug I can never get enough
I got addicted, had to get off yourself
You're like the opposite of [?]
You come back into my life [?]

You got a way of makinโ€ฒ me feel like shit
If this is over then I have to get over
I just want some closure
Won't you take a close up?
If it's really over tell me when do I let go
I want some closure
I hate to say I told ya
But I need to get sober
Tell me when do I let go
(Tell me when do I let go)
Tell me when do I let go
Man, I just want some closure
I just want some closure
Wonโ€ฒt you take a close up
If itโ€ฒs really over
Tell me when do I let go
I mentioned my composure
I hate to say I told ya
I need to get sober




Tell me when do I let go
Man, I just want some closure
