verse 1
I heard you’re leaving today
going back to that big old town
and I know it’s getting late
but I wish you could stay
oh I just want you around
Pre Chorus
and all the things you said
they’re stuck in my head
oh I’ll count the steps
until you come back
Chorus
I know I know you gotta go
and I hope you know
that since the first hello
I knew I knew I feel for you
but I couldn’t show
cause I thought you’d let me go
oh oh oh
Verse 2
so many doubts
they told me you like someone else out loud
maybe I was wrong
to think I was the one
when we sang that song
Pre Chorus
but I kept all the things
I wear that earring
maybe it means nothing but…
Chorus
I know I know you gotta go
and I hope you know
that since the first hello
I knew I knew I fell for you
but I couldn’t show
cause I thought you’d let me go
oh oh oh
Bridge
and now you’re back to new york
and I’m over here in cork
we’re oceans apart
so cruel to be this far
Chorus
I know I know you had to go
and now you know
that since the first hello
I knew I knew my heart beat for you
but I couldn’t show
cause I thought you’d let me go
uh oh I gave so many signs
uh oh was it all in my mind?
uh oh oh
