When writing it I wanted to be as literal and straight forward as possible about the state of mind you can be in, in which you keep telling yourself you’re over someone and you don’t have feelings for them, but deep down you know it’s not true. You’re willing to tell him, other people, and yourself...
[Verse 1]
Close my eyes, I see you everywhere
Thought that I was over it
Running into you and now I care
Now I care
[Pre]
Seems a bit complicated
Think I have understated it
Said it was cool and I felt the same way
All of the feelings that i would downplay
My mind invaded
Why do I feel obligated to
Act like I’m all happy now for your new life
Am i still a part of your new life?
[Hook]
Cause I still want you
But am I being honest
Or am I playing mi,mind mi,mind mi,mindgames
With myself
[Verse 2]
If it’s time you needed to come round
Wouldn’t you have wanted me by now
I get you distance yourself from people and things that hurt you too
But I thought I’d be different
Cause I never wanted what other’s have done to you
[Pre]
Seems a bit complicated
Think I have understated it
Said it was cool and I felt the same way
All of the feelings that i would downplay
My mind invaded
Why do I feel obligated to
Act like I’m all happy now for your new life
Am i still a part of your new life?
[Hook]
Cause I still want you
But am I being honest
Or am I playing mi,mind mi,mind mi,mindgames
With myself
