R...
[Verse 1]
Climb the stairs to your apartment
Just to see you holding him
You try to tell me that it's nothing
So I keep coming back again
[Pre-Chorus]
You looking right in my eyes and I know that you're lying
When you say that you're mine and there's nobody else
But even when we fight, I can't stop from loving you
You know we can't be friends, I guess this is how it ends
[Chorus]
Things that you say, I can't erase
Repeating days, it's all the same
[Verse 2]
Driving home I'm empty hearted
Broken pictures on the floor
And when I thought that it was over
I see you standing at the door
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm looking right in your eyes and you know that I'm lying
When I say that I'm fine, there'll be somebody else
But after all this time, I can't stop from loving you
You know we can't be friends, can I taste your lips again?
[Chorus]
Things that you say, I can't erase
Repeating days, it's all the same
[Bridge]
We're all afraid of loneliness
We're all afraid to die alone
And even when you broke my heart
I'd do it again
[Pre-Chorus]
You looking right in my eyes and you know that I'm lying
When I say that you're mine and there's nobody else
But even when we fight, I can't stop from loving you
You know we can't be friends, can I taste your lips again?
[Chorus]
Things that you say, I can't erase
Repeating days, it's all the same
[Outro]
Days repeating over again
Oversleeping over our heads
Yeah, days repeating over again
Hopelessly both over our heads, yeah
Hidden Track
[Verse]
All I got is cheap wine
Do you mind? All I got is love for you
All I've got is cheap wine
Are you mine? I will make time for you, too
All I ask, please don't lie
'Cause this time, I won't come back home to you
Repeating days, where we stay
It's okay 'cause this time it's up to fate

Ross’s emotion in the demo was so strong, I could feel it just listening for the first time! And we spent so long on the lyrics of this song to make sure we got the story right.
