[Verse 1]
You did nothing wrong, but l'd like to feel anger
To keep us apart or to use as an anchor
I don't want to float back like some kind of ghost
Fill my lungs up with something that's thicker than smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, defibrillator
Had to try to hate ya
How else could I ever let you go?
How am I supposed to let ya?
[Chorus]
And I guess I'm to blame
Saw you coming back some day

And I should be ashamed
You were never mine to take

[Verse 2]
So much of you in my heart and behaviour

Oh, defibrillator
Had to try to hate ya
How else could I ever let you go?
How am I supposed to let ya?
[Bridge]
And I guess I'm to blame
Saw you coming back some day
Saw you coming back some day
Saw you coming back
And I should be ashamed
You were never mine to take
Got you on my mind this late
Got you on my mind
[Chorus]
And I guess I'm to blame
Saw you coming back some day
Saw you coming back some day
Saw you coming back
And I should be ashamed
You were never mine to take
Got you on my mind this late
Got you on my mind
