Not Usually Like This - Cian Ducrot

You told me everything I wanted to hear Folded your clothes, text me laughing in tears Kissed me at midnight every new year Now I'm up all night on my own You got me hooked on all the words that you said Perched on a carousel round in my head Until you got her, I couldn't care less But now I wish she was dead It doesn't seem quite fair to me Is it too much to ask for you to be sad without me? Every day, every night That I'm not by your side It's just a bad dream I know I said that I wanted you to be happy But damn, I didn't think that you'd find it so easy I want us to be, you minus me But not like this, not like this It's you and her, and I'm in between, and it kills me Oh, why the hell does it only work in the movies I want us to be, you minus me But not like this not like this Does she know you really like it when girls order a beer? Know that dying young is one of your fears Does she know you like it when it gets weird Does she know I wish she would just disappear It doesn't seem quite fair to me Is it too much to ask for you to be sad without me? Every day, every night That I'm not by your side It's just a bad dream I know I said that I wanted you to be happy But damn, I didn't think that you'd find it so easy I want us to be, you minus me But not like this not like this It's you and her, and I'm in between, and it kills me Oh, why the hell does it only work in the movies I want us to be, you minus me But not like this, not like this All this jealousy, jealousy Haunting me, haunting me I'd rather you, rather be by yourself I want us to wanna be Only you minus me Not like this, not like this I know I wanted you to be happy But damn, you found it so easy I want us to be, you minus me But not like this All this jealousy, jealousy Haunting me, haunting me I'd rather you rather be by yourself I want us to wanna be Only you minus me Not like this, not like this

Not like this without a single tear We can't just walk away as if It never happened Our kind of love has never Talked in whispers So if it's time to go, Let's do it right and go out loud But not like this without A backward glance Did all our feeling die The moment love was over Well, not in me 'cause I still feel you in my soul So I will leave you Tenderly or bitterly But not like this

Wipe the crocodiles from your eyes 'Cause we both know you're not crying Save the stories for someone else 'Cause believe me I ain't buying You know me more than anybody But still you just can't figure me out I know you, at least I thought that I did Never would have second guessed it But now I guessed it, I've just messed it up Again Tell me what you know about friends What's the point of starting if it ends? Never thought you'd be the one to leave Never would have called myself naive Tell me what you think about us And all the things you know about trust They say friends come and go But how can you be friends with someone You don't even know? Did you get all that you needed? Advantage of me and everything in between Was it everything you wanted? Picking sides like wrong was right You know me more than anybody But still you just can't figure me out I know you, at least I thought that I did Never would have second guessed it But now I guessed it, I've just messed it up Again Tell me what you know about friends What's the point of starting if it ends? Never thought you'd be the one to leave Never would have called myself naive Tell me what you think about us And all the things you know about trust They say friends come and go But how can you be friends with someone You don't even know? Know, know, know, know, that you don't even know Know, know, know, know, that you don't even know Know, that you don't even know Tell me what you know about friends What's the point of starting if it ends? Never thought you'd be the one to leave Never would have called myself naive Tell me what you think about us And all the things you know about trust They say friends come and go But how can you be friends with someone You don't even know?

I didn't know that she was dancing right beside me I only noticed when she asked me so politely "Could you play my favourite song?" Latchin' on to all the words that I was singing It wasn't hard to feel the heat that she was bringing But she was stringing me along We danced the night away She told me she would stay the night at my place But in the morning I called to say You left some clothes last night And I wonder who you are And I wonder are you far You left, still on my mind And I'll never feel the same Didn't even catch your name She was drinking me underneath the table Tried to keep up when I knew I wasn't able She told me "practice what you preach" Then she kissed me when I wasn't expecting Didn't think that it would go in that direction I guess it's time for us to leave We danced the night away She told me she would stay the night at my place But in the morning I called to say You left some clothes last night And I wonder who you are And I wonder are you far You left, still on my mind And I'll never feel the same Didn't even catch your name You left some clothes last night And I wonder who you are And I wonder are you far You left, still on my mind And I'll never feel the same Didn't even catch your name

When I was four, I fell off my bike But you told me I'd be okay When I was five, you were by my side When Mama was far away And when I was ten, you were my best friend When no one else came to play "If anyone hits you, you hit back harder" That's what you'd always say And you'd say, "Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh" It's been a long, long day Are we in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven? 'Cause I don't feel pain I guess that this is Heaven, Heaven And if you're far away We're still together, 'gether, 'gether And if I never prayed I guess that we're in Heaven, Heaven Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh As we got older, you never smiled And I know it's because of him Oh, you carried that pain more than any child should Buried under your skin Remember that time when I lost my voice And they said I would never sing? Well, now you've got a kid, I'm with Ed on tour In cities, I've never been And you'd say, "Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh" And you'd say, "Hold my hand, I'll be your brother wherever you go" It's been a long, long day Are we in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven? 'Cause I don't feel pain I guess that this is Heaven, Heaven And if you're far away We're still together, 'gether, 'gether And if I never prayed I guess that we're in Heaven, Heaven Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Now we've grown up and you've built that love You've got your own family And maybe one day when I build my own I'll remember you said to me It's been a long, long day Are we in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven?

Endless nights, a shot across the bows You take the high road once again And I'll take the lows I see the sadness in your eyes now And it's difficult to swallow (it's difficult to swallow) Packed your bags, got out before the slope Asked you to stay for one more night But that just rock the boat I know I should've done the math, but it's still hard to let you go Well, I know I'm not the only one To fall for all the lies That we were living in a house of cards So, I can't be surprised when I'm Waking up in a sea of sadness And I won't make it a force of habit Maybe, in a year or so, I'll be able just to laugh at it But for now, I spend my nights wishing we could just go back to it Better half, that's what I thought you were Path of glory, same old story "Time's a thief", I've heard You can hold the smoking gun, but I'll still shoot the messenger Sea of sorrows, you wiped it off my cheek See you tomorrow, that's time borrowed for another week I can't stand beside you now if you don't really want me Well, I know I'm not the only one To fall for all the lies That we were living in a house of cards So, I can't be surprised when I'm Waking up in a sea of sadness And I won't make it a force of habit Maybe, in a year or so, I'll be able just to laugh at it But for now, I spend my nights wishing we could just go back to it I remember we were once in love Remember we were once in love I hope that when you think of us You'll remember it the way it was I hope that when you're missing me You're missing what we used to be I hope that when you're falling down You'll remember how I stuck around And I hope the way you look me up You'll remember we were once in love (We were once in love) You'll remember we were once in love (We were once in love) Remember we were once in love Waking up in a sea of sadness And I won't make it a force of habit Maybe, in a year or so, I'll be able just to laugh at it But for now, I spend my nights wishing we could just go back to it
