After an exchange of social media flurries with an ex and songwriter, lead singer Scott writes a response to a recent song she had written about him, long after the relationship had ended, calling on lingering feelings that are undeniably still present.
[Verse 1]
After a few songs about me
Clarity tells me a thing or two
After a few songs about me
I didn’t think you loved me, but now I do
Weeks and months have gone by
But I can’t shake my feelings
For you
[Verse 2]
When you left me
You didn’t run away
I think you just got lost
But it goes both ways
I never got to tell you how I felt
Cause I was scared
Look at the cost
I’m done with the old
So here it goes
[Chorus]
I like you more than I can handle
I don't think I can put it away
And I know you said you needed
It’s taken all of I’ve got to believe it
[Verse]
If we find ourselves in the same city, will you see me?
Just an old friend? Or will you walk right up to me and kiss me
But until then I’ll live in the why
You ran out, with no doubt, it was time
[Chorus]
I thought you liked me you more than you could handle
But here you are throwing it away
And I know what you said you needed
It’s taken all I’ve got to believe it
So I’ll shut up I guess and just leave it
