I look up from the groundTo see your sad and teary eyesYou look away from meAnd I see there's something you're trying to hideAnd I reach for your hand but it's coldYou pull away againAnd I wonder what's on your mindAnd then you say to me you made a dumb mistakeYou start to tremble and your voice begins to breakYou say the cigarettes on the counter weren't your friendsThey were my matesAnd I feel the color draining from my faceAnd my friend said"I know you love her, but it's over, mateIt doesn't matter, put the phone awayIt's never easy to walk away, let her goIt'll be alright"So I asked to look back at all the messages you'd sentAnd I know it wasn't right, but it was f*cking with my headAnd everything deleted like the past, it was goneAnd when I touched your face, I could tell you're moving onBut it's not the fact that you kissed him yesterdayIt's the feeling of betrayal, that I just can't seem to shakeAnd everything I know tells me that I should walk awayBut I just want to stayAnd my friend said"I know you love her, but it's over, mateIt doesn't matter, put the phone awayIt's never easy to walk away, let her goIt'll be okayIt's gonna hurt for a bit of timeSo bottoms up, let's forget tonightYou'll find another and you'll be just fineLet her go"But nothing heals the past like timeAnd they can't stealThe love you're born to findBut nothing heals the past like timeAnd they can't stealThe love you're born to find"I know you love her, but it's over, mateIt doesn't matter, put the phone awayIt's never easy to walk away, let her goIt'll be okayIt's gonna hurt for a bit of timeSo bottoms up, let's forget tonightYou'll find another and you'll be just fineLet her go"It'll be alrightIt'll be alrightIt'll be alrightIt'll be alrightIt'll be alright
