Lyrics
Final version
Lover
Why don’t you come over
I know it’s after midnight
I know it’s after midnight
Lover
Where did I remember
You since the beginning
You since the beginning
Lover
You’ve already broken my heart
You’ve already broken my heart
Why have you stayed
Why have you stayed
'Cause lover
You’ve already ripped me apart
You’ve already broken my heart
What would it take
To make you walk away
Walk away
Here we sit
In these restless mornings
You held on tighter last night
Than you ever have before
Here we sit
In these restless mornings
You held on tighter last night
Than you ever have before
Than you ever have before
Lover
You’ve already broken my heart
You’ve already broken my heart
Why would you stay
'Cause lover
You’ve already ripped me apart
You’ve already broken my heart
What would it take
To make you walk away
Walk away
Lover
You’ve already ripped me apart
You’ve already broken my heart
What would it take
To make you walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Just walk away
Walk away (stay)
Lover (walk away)
Walk away
Lover
