[Verse 1: Oliver]
Please don't say we're done when I'm not finished
'Cause I could give so much more
Make you feel like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor
[Verse 2: Romy]
It's been a while and you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you
[Bridge: Romy & Oliver]
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
[Verse 3: Romy]
And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more
[Verse 4: Oliver]
No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear, you weren't near
Near enough for me
[Hook: Oliver & Romy]
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
