U.N.I.
Ed Sheeran Lyrics

I found your hairband on my bedroom floor
I found something you left behind, a tiny reminder that you were here

The only evidence that you've been here before
It's the only proof that you ever existed in my space

And I don't get waves of missing you anymore
I don't get normal feelings of longing for you like I used to

They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes
The emotions hit me like huge waves of pain that make me cry

Never getting dry so I get high smoke in the day then I sleep with the light on
To numb my feelings, I smoke weed and keep the lights on as I fear sleeping and feeling lonely

Weeks pass in the blink of an eye
Time goes by too quickly, making it hard to forget how I feel

And I'm still drunk by the end of the night
I drink to forget, but it only makes matters worse

I don't drink like everybody else
I drink to numb my feelings, but it's different than how others drink socially

End up forgetting things about myself
Drinking causes me to lose myself and forget who I am

I'm stubborn I'm forward head's just blocked
I'm stubborn and can't move forward because of my emotional blockage

My head's still with you but my heart's just not
I can't get you out of my head, but my heart no longer loves you

So am I close to you anymore if it's over
If we're not together anymore, can I still consider myself close to you?

And there's no chance that we'll work it out
There is no possibility of us reconciling or fixing things

That's why you and I ended over U-N-I
You and I ended over differences that we could not reconcile

And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied
I pretended that the break-up didn't hurt me, but deep down, you know I'm lying

Everybody said that we'll be together forever but I know that
People thought we had a permanent relationship, but I knew better

I never wanna settle down come around break up the love like Lego now
I don't want to be tied down and have my love life be fragile as a Lego structure

Never wanna turn into another like you
I don't want to become like you and what we had together

Sleep with my thoughts dance with my views
I contemplate and dream about the past while still developing my own opinions and beliefs

Everything's great but everything's short
Everything may seem good, but it all disappears quickly

But you live in your halls and I live in a tour bus
You have a settled life, while I'm constantly on the move

Now I'm in position to be another stalker
I'm in a position to be considered obsessed with you and your life since we broke up

And every thing I say seems to always sound awkward
No matter what I say, it comes out wrong and sounds strange

Like our last kiss it was perfect but we were nervous
Our last kiss was good in theory, but even it had its flaws, and we were both nervous

And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it
I constantly remind myself that what we had together was worth it

Pain is only relevant if it still hurts
Pain is only relevant if it still affects me strongly

I forget like an elephant or we can use a sedative
I need something to help me forget the pain, like I have the memory of an elephant, or a sedative

And go back to the day we fell in love on first kiss
I wish to go back to the time when we first fell in love, to relive that moment again

Because if I was gonna go somewhere I'd be there by now
If there was a way for me to be with you, I would've found it by now

And maybe I can let myself down oh
Maybe I can allow myself to give up on us

And thinking I am unaware I keep my feet on the ground
Even though I try to ignore the situation, I remain grounded in reality

Keep looking around to make sure I'm not he only one to feel low
I try to find others who share the same pain and feelings as me, so I don't feel so alone

Because if you want I'll take you in my arms
If you want to be with me, I'll hold you close and protect you

And keep you sheltered from all that I've done wrong
I'll protect you from my own mistakes

And I know you'll say that I'm the only one
You might pretend that I'm the only one you think about or want, but I know that's not true

But I know that god made another one of me
I think there is someone else out there who is better suited for you than me

To love you better than I ever will
I know there is someone else out there who could love you better than I ever could

You and I ended over U-N-I
We ended because of differences in how we view the world and ourselves

And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied
I said I was okay with it, but you know that I'm not, and I'm lying to myself and you
