Lump in my throat

I turn and I go

Is how I let go

You waited, but I never came
Verse 2:

I say you're so unbelievable, but actually I believed you

'Cause I know how you operate and now I really see you
Cadd9 D
I got nostalgic once or twice, but I'm gonna be okay

But I see you wearin' my shirt

I fell so deep

So free that I flew
