listen to my heart dividing
one half's aching for your arms around me
the other's bittersweet smile, smiles for your love for her
you came into my life like sunlight,
glittering through the clouds,
permeating through every single pore on my body
you carved yourself in me unknowingly
i thought I'd wait,
have you all to myself while i fall more in love each day
it felt like i was in utopia, having you in my sights
i thought i had all the time in the world
and i would, if i had all the time in the world
I’d keep looking for more ways to fall in love with you
but
but then she came into your life
upturning everything you had ever known
i saw you getting swept up in her beauty, her strength
i saw you and her and i felt helpless
in the face of something so, so right
so i left
my bittersweet heart won
the other still aches
even in the arms of other bodies I fall into
they've never ever held a candle to your flame
so, now here i am
singing songs about my heartbreak
telling the nation, all about her kisses
and how you fell for her hard and fast
while never even looking back for me
and how i, stood there like an idiot
because i thought i had time
because i forgot, time was never meant for a single person to have
because i forgot it was never meant for me to have
