I should've told you When I had the chance Lost in the memories we don't have I wanted to hold you In hopeless romance Mm, you fade like a ghost I've been from London to Aberdeen (wow) Inside a coupé And from inside a private limousine (cool?) Do you think it really matters if I wear designer? (No) 'Cause I don't If I don't have her what's the point of finer (things, things, things) I'm ex nihilo like Augustine (amen) But I confess I haven't been the best internally (why not?) I keep seeing two moons in my dreams (again?) Can you tell me what they really mean? I should've told you When I had the chance Lost in the memories we don't have I wanted to hold you In hopeless romance Mmm, you fade like a ghost Can you catch me when I fall? (fall) I'm in love with the idea (idea) Of who you are (I'm in love with a lie) I tried to look the other way (way) But I'm lying to myself (myself) I never wanted it to end I had no other option I had to find a way to leave before you walked in At the end the chase was all I really wanted But it's too late for that You give heart attacks And I find It hard to sleep (it's hard to sleep) 'Cause I'm afraid of ghosts And I can hear you talking (blah, blah, blah) So perpetual You showed no sign of stopping (stop) It's too late for that (fuck) Can't you understand? Ah I should've told you (told you, told you) When I had the chance (I had the chance, I had the chance) Lost in the memories we don't have (we never had, we never had) I wanted to hold you (I wanna hold you, I wanna hold you) In hopeless romance (hopeless romance) Mmm, you fade like a ghost (like a ghost, like a ghost) (You fade like a ghost, you fade like a ghost) You could at least just make it easy (easy) You know I hate being so needy (needy) Got my attention on a leash And I don't want it back Unintentionally acting creppy (creppy) In front of her but she can't see me (can't see) I think she thinks I'm on the spectrum I'm pretty sure she wants to leave (wants to leave) And I don't blame her
