Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
If you were a good friend
You'd always be there when I need it
Cause I'm on my knees and babe I'm bleeding
And it kills me that you're not around
[Verse 2]
So you're not my girlfriend
Don't pretend that makes us nothing
Tell me you don't miss this feeling
I'm starting to see who you are
[Chorus]
Cause there's a time, there's a place
And I'm always gonna hear your name
There's a right, there's a wrong
And now I see that all along
I messed up, you'll be fine
I'm going to sleep alone tonight
Never gonna be the same, 'cause you're half the world away
[Verse 3]
A story you'd heard
Now you rest everything on these three words
Now I walk to you 'till my feet hurt
So tell me that's not good enough
[Verse 4]
And I started drinking
I don't know half of what I'm thinking
I'm deep in I'm scared I'll stop breathing
We've started to lose who we are
[Chorus]
Cause there's a time, there's a place
And I'm always gonna hear your name
There's a right, there's a wrong
And now I see that all along
I messed up, you'll be fine
I'm going to sleep alone tonight
Never gonna be the same
[Bridge]
I want you around, round, round
Are we going down, down, down?
I want you around, round, round
Are we going down, down, down?
I want you around, round, round
Are we going down, down, down?
Are we going down, down, (down)
[Chorus]
Cause there’s a time, there’s a place
And I’m always gonna hear your name
There’s a right, there’s a wrong
And now I see that all along
I messed up, you’ll be fine
I’m gonna sleep alone tonight
Never gonna be the same
(Cause you’re half the world away)
[Chorus]
Cause there’s a time, there’s a place
And I’m always gonna hear your name
There’s a right, there’s a wrong
And now I see that all along
I messed up, you’ll be fine
I’m gonna sleep alone tonight
Never gonna be the same
Cause you’re half the world away
