A Band Break-(up?) from March 2016
On Aug 23, 2015, The Sun newspaper in the UK reported that the band would "take a break" from March 2016, after they finish promoting their fifth studio album Made in the A.M.. A source said, "The guys have been together for five years, which is an incredible run for any boy band. They fully deserve to have at least a year to work on their own projects. There is absolutely no bad blood between them and they are all 100% behind the decision. It is definitely not a split and they fully intend to get back together at some time in the future."

(Na na na na na)
He takes your hand, I die a little
I watch your eyes and I'm in riddles
Why can't you look at me like that?
(Na na na na na)
When you walk by, I try to say it
But then I freeze, and never do it
My tongue gets tied, the words get trapped (Trapped)
I hear the beat of my heart getting louder, whenever I'm near you
But I see you
With him slow dancing
Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see
Whenever you
Kiss him, I'm breaking,
Oh how I wish that was me
(Na na na na na)
(Na na na na na)
He looks at you, the way that I would
Does all the things, I know that I could
If only time, could just turn back
'Cause I got three little words that I've always been dying to tell you
But I see you
With him slow dancing
Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see
Whenever you
Kiss him, I'm breaking,
Oh how I wish that was me
With my hands on your waist, while we dance in the moonlight
I wish it was me, that you'll call later on 'cause you wanna say good night
'Cause I see you
With him slow dancing
Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see
But I see you
With him slow dancing
Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see
Whenever you
Kiss him, I'm breaking,
Oh how I wish
Oh how I wish
Oh how I wish, that was me
Oh how I wish, that was me

He watches as she walks by, wishing she would look at him the way she looks at her partner. The singer is tongue-tied and unable to express his love, even though he has "three little words" he wants to tell her. He wishes he could go back in time and do things differently so that she would be with him instead of her current partner. The chorus repeats the singer's pain as he watches her slow dance with her partner, kiss him, and break his heart.

He takes your hand, I die a little
I feel a small part of me dying when I see him holding your hand
I watch your eyes and I'm in riddles
I get confused when I see the way you look at him
Why can't you look at me like that?
I wish you would give me the same attention and affection that you give him
When you walk by, I try to say it
I want to express my feelings to you when you walk by
But then I freeze, and never do it
But I get too nervous and can never actually tell you
My tongue gets tied, the words get trapped (Trapped)
I struggle to express my feelings and my words get stuck inside me
I hear the beat of my heart getting louder, whenever I'm near you
My heart starts to race when I am near you

Does all the things, I know that I could
He does all the things for you I wish I could
If only time, could just turn back
I wish I could go back in time and tell you how I feel
'Cause I got three little words that I've always been dying to tell you
I have been longing to tell you 'I love you'
With my hands on your waist, while we dance in the moonlight
I imagine holding you close and dancing with you under the moonlight
I wish it was me, that you'll call later on 'cause you wanna say good night
I wish you would call me to say good night instead of him
Oh how I wish, that was me
I wish I was the one you were with instead of him
