Lyrics :
So the story goes
Silence is bold
Three years later and the pill isn’t swallowed yet
I was never in your chess game
Just some dust that needed to be cleared away
I told myself that my pride would never fall
That moving on like you did was the only thing to do
Though I wonder if you’ve ever felt this way
She took your « untameable » heart right
When I cleared the way

Mister doesn’t know how it hurts to know I wasn’t
enough
That the memories were just a consolation prize
Watching her life daily on social media
Secretly obsessed by her aura
She is all I’m never gonna be
And I don’t miss you
I don’t need you
Don’t wanna hold you
But what would’ve been ?

What do you really know about it ?
Have you ever wondered why everybody wants you
And everybody knows you ?
In a way I should feel proud that I had you for a night
But silence keeps its words
Locked for only us to know
But we will meet again somehow
Oh our paths have crossed way too many times before

Mister doesn’t know how it hurts to know I wasn’t
enough
That the memories were just a consolation prize
Watching her life daily on social media
Secretly obsessed by her aura
She is all I’m never gonna be
And I don’t miss you
I don’t need you
Don’t wanna hold you
But what would’ve been ?

Though this time it’s all over
You will lose the hold you’ve had on me
Sometimes I’ll look back on it
But I won’t bleed again
No I won’t bleed again

Mister doesn't know how it hurts to know I wasn't enough
Looking back it was all for the best
Your loss is grand, my tears are dry
Won't wait around for a guy who wakes
Who wakes
Far too late
