the list by Emily James Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I just wanted you to know
[Verse 1]
Here's a list of the things that I wish I could say to you
Held back 'cause it's so hard to tell the truth
Face to face and I can't seem to get you alone
So here I am, hear my voice on your left and right
Listen once, I won't take too much of your time
Let me have this so I can let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah the night that we met, I guessed you'd mess me up
And though I tried to forget, you still got in my head
Now I'm trying not to think too much
[Chorus]
But I wasn't lost 'til I thought that I might be on your mind
I switched it off, or so I thought 'til your lips locked in with mine
And I swear I, I won't cry in the silence you're leaving
It's not your fault I'm bleeding
I should've known better than ever to have let you in
[Verse 2]
Did you know for the past couple months or so
You've been behind all my highs and my every low?
Yeah, you really dug in deep there
So while you go around so unaffected
I'm wonderin' how we got disconnected
I guess we were never on the same page at all
[Chorus]
But I wasn't lost 'til I thought that I might be on your mind
And I shook you off, or so I thought 'til your hand fell in with mine
And I swear I, I won't cry in the silence you're leaving
It's not your fault I'm bleeding
I should've known better than ever to have let you
[Bridge]
I won't ask our friends about you
I'll just talk in circles 'round you
I know I'll survive you out of my life
But I won't laugh as loud without you
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah the night that we met I guess you messed me up
[Chorus]
But I wasn't lost 'til I thought that I might be on your mind
I switched it off, or so I thought 'til your lips pressed in to mine
And I swear I, I won't cry in the silence you're leaving
It's not your fault I'm bleeding
I should've known better
I should've known better
I meant to know better
Than ever to have let you in
[Outro]
Oh, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I just wanted you to know
Oh, I just wanted you to know
[Verse 1]
Here's a list of the things that I wish I could say to you
Held back 'cause it's so hard to tell the truth
