[Verse 1]
Just thinking about us I've come undone
Looking back I don't know who lost or won
Tell me now, tell me now
Expressions in my mind that I can't translate
But I know that I will learn to appreciate
Tell me how, tell me how
[Chorus 1]
It's been a little while since we have ended
We haven't mended, we haven't mended
It's been a little while since we have ended
We haven't mended, we haven't mended
[Post-Chorus]
It's getting close, it's getting close, it's getting close
It's getting close, It's getting close, It's getting close
It's getting close, It's getting close, It's getting close
It's getting close
[Verse 2]
I'm not laying blame, I'm not keeping score
I just wish I could find who I was before
Can't go back, I know that
[Chorus 1]
It's been a little while since we have ended
We haven't mended, we haven't mended
It's been a little while since we have ended
We haven't mended, we haven't mended
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
What am I supposed to do when most of me still belongs to you
What am I supposed to do when most of me still belongs to you
What am I supposed to do when most of me still belongs to you
[Chorus 2]
It's been a little while since we have ended
We haven't mended, we haven't mended
It's been a little while since we have ended
We haven't mended, oh we haven't mended
[Post-Chorus]
It's getting close, it's getting close, it's getting close
It's getting close, It's getting close, It's getting close
It's getting close, It's getting close, It's getting close
It's getting close
[Outro]
What am I supposed to do when most of me still belongs to you
What am I supposed to do when most of me still belongs to you
It's getting close

“It was about a relationship that I had a few years ago. It had been a little while since we’d ended it and we hadn’t made amends, said we were sorry. It’s funny because you think the song is going to be about resolution, but we haven’t quite made it there yet.”
