This song goes through the beginning and end of a relationship. Liam states that they “…used to be lovin', touchin', kissin', f- like our lives depend on it” to “lyin', cryin', always fightin'Like our lives depend on it. An important thing to note about the song is that Liam doesn’t deliberately say...
[Intro]
We used to be loving, touching, kissing, f—
Like our lives depend on it
How'd we get to lying, crying, always fighting
Like our lives depend on it?
[Verse 1]
Oh, there you go, putting words in my mouth
It's 'bout to go down
I'm not ready yet, there's still a thread left
If I could just hold on onto unraveling hope
Give it one last go
I don't know why, just need us to try
[Pre-Chorus]
Do or don't we find a way to get back?
That thing we used to have that
Ooh, I need you now
[Chorus]
We used to be loving, touching, kissing, f—
Like our lives depend on it
How'd we get to lying, crying, always fighting
Like our lives depend on it?
Why are you looking at me with angry eyes?
How we ever gon' make it out alive
If we don't get back to loving, touching, kissing, f—
Like our lives depend on it?
[Verse 2]
How could I know
What you had hiding there
Behind those fire eyes?
But I'll make it worse with my wild words
[Pre-Chorus]
And ooh, I've done it now
[Chorus]
We used to be loving, touching, kissing, f—
Like our lives depend on it
How'd we get to lying, crying, always fighting
Like our lives depend on it?
Why are you looking at me with angry eyes?
How we ever gon' make it out alive
If we don't get back to loving, touching, kissing, f—
Like our lives depend on it?
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Why are you looking at me with angry eyes?
How we ever gon' make it out alive
If we don't get back to loving, touching, squeezing then f—
Like our lives depend on it?
