When I needed you most
You decided to ghost
Thought we were forever
City life or chilling out by the coast
My friends helped me through it,
They the best and I ain't trying to boast
When I needed you most
You decided to leave
And I was so shocked I could barely believe
I didn't know where to start, didn't know how to grieve
So I’m in London town and I’m looking at the rain
I don’t really understand why you’ve inflicted this pain
I know we were different but I thought we were the same
I guess that’s all part of playing this game
Checking my phone, I keep hoping that you’ll write to me
I always thought that you were right for me
And I always thought that you would fight for me
I never thought you'd lose sight of me
The binding meaning to the world that I was living in
When you left, it really felt like you were giving in
I used to daydream of the house that we’d be living in
Naive love mixed with sin
I thought we were forever, I suppose I was wrong,
At least I tried to manifest it, put it in song
I thought we were forever, that our love would be strong,
I never thought that I would write this song
When I needed you most
You decided to ghost
When I needed you most
You decided to ghost
When I needed you most
You decided to leave
And I was so shocked I could barely believe
Didn't know where to start, didn't know how to grieve
I'm on the tube and I’m writing this verse
The way you left me was a blessing and a curse
You killed us off, we departed in a hearse
Lost the fight, forfeited our purse
And what’s worse is a brother really thought you were certy
Maybe be settled by 30
Red flag that you didn’t write to my mum before her operation
Too self absorbed to write a selfless proclamation
My love and my commiserations
To all the people trapped in wartorn nations
When I was young never felt loved or Supported
But on some realer shit, people get deported
On the tube and I’m writing this verse
The way you left me was a blessing and a curse
London - July, the rain was torrential
Thinking bout our lost time and our lost potential
