They Told Me

Lyricist: Sophia Ayana & Leon Paul Palmen     Composer: Sophia Ayana & Leon Paul Palmen

I'm skipping the intro
'Cause I can tell my thoughts are heard
And we ain't even said a word, did we?
Forgive me for staring (Ooh)
At your cigarette and your beer
Won't you finish them and leave here with me?

I hope you can explain what is happening
'Cause I don't feel the same, like to start
You keep talking but you're never listening, oh
Can you help me out baby?

I don't sleep at night, my heart is running dry
How could I be alright?
This ain't what they told me love feels like
I don't sleep at night, my heart is running dry
How could I be alright?
This ain't what they told me love feels like

Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
This ain't what they told me love feels like
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
This ain't what they told me love feels like

If we could go back to (If we could go back to)
All the times we celebrated
I drive you home drinking Champagne every night
Are we giving up now? (Ooh)
Our love was wider than a river
Made mistakes we can't forgive, but I'll try

I hope you can explain what is happening
'Cause I don't feel the same, like to start
You keep talking but you're never listening, oh
Can you help me out baby?

I don't sleep at night, my heart is running dry
How could I be alright?
This ain't what they told me love feels like
I don't sleep at night, my heart is running dry
How could I be alright?
This ain't what they told me love feels like

Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
This ain't what they told me love feels like
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh

I hope you can explain what is happening
'Cause I don't feel the same, like to start
You keep talking but you're never listening, oh
Can you help me out baby?

Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
This ain't what they told me love feels like
Oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh, oh-oh-ooh
