Fenne Lilly told about the meaning of the song in an interview:
“It’s not a song about heartbreak in the usual sense of the word; it’s more a sense of losing what I held close and not understanding how I felt about people moving on and changing, especially myself.”
[Verse 1]
Tell me it's the best for us
Take away the truth because
Sleeping top to toe with me
Isn't what it used to be
[Chorus]
So, I'm changing all my days
To make your nights
It's just not right
And you tell me I'm a child
And take my light
To smoke your mind
But I don't smile like before
And you take him to your bed
It's all been said
You need this more
[Verse 2]
Tell me I'm a time you'll miss
Feelings always change like this
But you are all the words I need
To explain myself, it seems
[Chorus]
So I'm changing all my days
To make your nights
It's just not right
And you tell me I'm a child
And take my light
To smoke your mind
But I don't smile like before
And you take him to your bed
It's all been said
You need this more
[Bridge]
Please don't go, I need you
Take control, you tell me
Please don't go, I need you
Take control
[Verse 3]
So I'm changing all my days
To make your nights
It's just not right
And you tell me I'm a child
And take my light
To smoke your mind
But I don't smile like before
And you take him to your bed
It's all been said
You need this more
[Outro]
Won't you take me to your bed
I should have said
I need you more
