Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I would stay here for
At least a lifetime with you
Turns out don't want this no more
Don't wanna be stuck with you
I got all these plans on my mind
Now I gotta leave you behind
Don't start saying you tried
'Cause I was never that blind yeah
Baby I'm so tired of losing at this game I know
Baby that things won't stay the same you say
You're not the one to blame but how come that you call yourself
By different names
Everyone falls sometimes
And leaving you behind feels like a revelation
I've never felt this high my oh my
Feels like a revelation
This is how it goes
Baby now more I love you so
Baby 'cause everybody knows
That I should let you go
No more stealing time
Baby no longer you are mine
Baby this simply how it ends
You can go hang out with your friends go
Between your bad and your good side of
Your ever changing moods
Your voice repeating in my head but now
This spirit in me says yeah
Everyone falls sometimes
And leaving you behind feels like a revelation
I've never felt this high my oh my
Feels like a revelation
Everyone falls sometimes
And leaving you behind feels like a revelation
I've never felt this high my oh my
Feels like a revelation
This is how it goes
Baby now more I love you so
Baby 'cause everybody knows
That I should let you go
No more stealing time
Baby no longer you are mine
Baby this simply how it ends
You can go hang out with your friends
Go
My oh my
Go
You can go hang out with your friends
Go
This is how it goes
Baby now more I love you so
Baby 'cause everybody knows
No more stealing time
Baby no longer you are mine




Baby this simply how it ends
You can go hang out with your friends

Refreshing to hear some music based in melody rather than endless note spinning.
