lyrics

I met you on the Ric's dance floor
You started dancing like it was '84
Well '80's trash always rubbed me the wrong way
Now it all reminds me of you
I wore your mum's old dress
You wore everyones everything on your shoulders
You gave me the world for free
All I gave you was someone who needed a friend

And that night it was after midnight
You took my hand, you lead me under a street light
And you made me remember I was someone I liked
All I gave you was someone

Who just couldn't change their mind
Quicker than they could pin point their faults
And stimulants they help me to unwind
I couldn't get high enough that time when
We had a good thing
Then it was over
I can't pretend everything's ok
But I can't seem to let go of anything

To let go of anything

Cos here's the thing, I don't feel anything
But at the same time I over-think everything
And I swear, I swear I used to be fun
Now I'm just warn out and I don't wanna hang with anyone
You tell me to step back, try to relax
Well I'm burning up everything I have trying to do that
Sometimes the guilt outweighs the shame
But I just can't calculate it

When I can't even change my mind
Quicker than I can pin point my faults
It's gets me every time
Stimulants help me to unwind
But I couldn't get high enough that time
We had a good thing
And now it's over
I can't pretend everything's ok
But I can't seem to let go of anything
Yeah, when we had a good thing
And now it's over
I can't pretend everything's ok
But I can't seem to let go of anything

See I can't seem to let go of anything
When I can't seem to let go of anything
I can't seem to move on from anything
I can't seem to let go of anything
When I can't seem to move on from anything
When I can't seem to let go of anything
