A Thousand Years - James Arthur

Mustard on the beat, ho I gave you everything that every man says he wants I cooked, I cleaned, I ironed your jeans, I was the one I would listen to you when you sound stupid Treat you like a winner even when you're losing Now you got me feeling like shooting Cupid 'Cause you did me wrong So when you come running back from the past you'll be out of time Because I'm done with your ass, you know that you was out of line And if you ever move on to another one that you find I hope you fall and you break your heart like you broke mine, aye 'Cause baby we're over, a thousand times over Ain't no do-overs, it was nice to know you But this love is over, a thousand times over I hope the next girl you love ends up fucking you over A thousand times over I did say everything that every girl says she needs I need your heart, I need your time, your loyalty Can't believe you caught me out here looking stupid I'm the one that held you down when you was losing Now you got me feeling like shooting Cupid 'Cause you did me wrong So when you come running back from the past you'll be out of time Because I'm done with your ass, you know that you was out of line And if you ever move on to another one that you find I hope you fall and you break your heart like you broke mine, aye 'Cause baby we're over, a thousand times over Ain't no do-overs, it was nice to know you But this love is over, a thousand times over I hope the next girl you love ends up fucking you over A thousand times over Can't believe you've done this when you know it's all I wanted Said I'm done, I'm done Early in the morning, got me tossing and turning Thought you was the one, the one Even though, I been down since long ago You been wrong, acting like you on the low I can't figure out what it is, but I'm through with you, yeah 'Cause baby we're over, a thousand times over (a thousand times over) Ain't no do-overs, it was nice to know you (so nice to know you) But this love is over (over), a thousand times over (a thousand times over) I hope the next girl you love ends up fucking you over A thousand times over

Lying on a mattress cos my friend's crazy sister took my bed away Sleeping she looked like an actress In theory and in practice I said there's got to be a better way She said You light a thousand matches When you finally set fire well you run away So why'd you go and do it When you knew that you would go and i would stay I hit the wall in frustration the conversation had been circling for days She said Don't take it out on him For the wall has always been Supportive in the best of ways We were laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow For just one second it was funny That she would have to stay and I would go I said love you know I love you so And when you love someone Well you've gotta let them know She said Nothings changed I love you the same But when you love someone sometimes You've gotta let them go She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart She said I'm gonna take this home For I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark In some faceless hotel room Where you seem to lose everything you own She didn't mean it how it sounded What she meant was she would stay and i would go And she said Love you know I love you so And when you love someone You've gotta let them know I said Nothings changed I love you the same But when you love someone sometimes You've gotta let them go Sometimes you tear it all apart To see the wood from the trees Sometimes you break your own heart To set yourself free I walked her to the station hesitation in our movement and our tone And words finally left after realising how uncomfortable they'd grown See what you want and what you need well they seldomly succeed to grow We reluctantly agreed when you love some one you've gotta let them go

(My, my, my, my) (My, my, my, my) (My, my, my, my) (My, my, my, my) (My, my, my, my) (My, my, my, my) (My, my, my, my) (My, my, my, my) Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts Flashbacks waking me up I get drunk, but it's not enough 'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we boarded them up Chandelier's still flickering here 'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not It's death by a thousand cuts I dress to kill my time I take the long way home I ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right They say, "I don't know" And what once was ours is no one's now I see you everywhere The only thing we share Is this small town You said it was a great love One for the ages But if the story's over Why am I still writing pages? 'Cause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts Flashbacks waking me up I get drunk, but it's not enough 'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we boarded them up Chandelier still flickering here 'Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not It's death by a thousand cuts My heart, my hips, my body, my love Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch Gave up on me like I was a bad drug Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club Our songs, our films, united we stand Our country, guess it was a lawless land Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand Paper cut stings from our paper thin plans My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up Gave you too much but it wasn't enough But I'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts I get drunk but it's not enough 'Cause you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we boarded them up Chandelier's still flickering here 'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not No, it's not It's death by a thousand cuts (you didn't touch) Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch My body, my love, my trust (it's death by a thousand cuts) But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no I take the long way home I ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right They say, "I don't know"
