[Verse 1]
That precious piece of time where
Nobody even knows yet
Guess you call that a secret
And I wanna keep it as long as I can
I don't wanna change no plans
I-I-I'm surfing in the surface
'Cause deeper makes me nervous
Internalize on purpose
I'll deal with it when I get in my bed
I don't wanna go there yet
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, my night just took a detour, oh-oh, yeah
Ooh, sliding through the back door
[Chorus]
Dancing in the bar
The boys have all turned to shapes
Cursing in the dark
And no one heard anything
It's like lighting a match
That you don't еver throw
I'm good at getting attached
And bad at lеtting go
Someone hold my heart
'Cause right now it's killing me
Drinks are hitting hard
But I can feel everything
It's like lighting a match
That you don't ever throw
I'm good at getting attached
And bad at letting go
[Post-Chorus]
Bad at letting go
[Verse 2]
Don't know who's gonna know first
Which one of us will go first
I'm so deep in the adverse
So bright in here but there ain't a bright side
I've looked for it all damn night
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, my night just took a detour (Detour), oh-oh, yeah
Ooh, sliding through the back door
[Chorus]
Dancing in the bar
The boys have all turned to shapes
Cursing in the dark
And no one heard anything
It's like lighting a match
That you don't ever throw
I'm good at getting attached
And bad at letting go
Someone hold my heart
'Cause right now it's killing me
Drinks are hitting hard
But I can feel everything
It's like lighting a match
That you don't ever throw
I'm good at getting attached
And bad at letting go
[Post-Chorus]
Bad at letting go
(Oh)
Bad At Letting Go was written by Peter Thomas & Leland.
Bad At Letting Go was produced by Peter Thomas.
Leland released Bad At Letting Go on Fri Jan 20 2023.
The song takes place within the blip of time where a relationship has just ended but you and your now ex are the only people who know it. You put a pause on processing the breakup and channel all of that emotion into a crisis induced dance where you feel everything, and nothing.
