Pop (One Direction-Style)
Lyrics
Description
Music loud, city lights Tryin’t hard to stall the night
Every step back to your door Made my chest hurt even more
So much sad without sound Feet still on the ground
I should’ve kissed you, I know But I held you too long to let go
That hug lives rent-free in my head The thing I didn’t do instead
Two hooks deep, heart on fire Almost crossed the wire
Now it′s just a memory Still feels close to me
I should’ve kissed you, I know But I held you too long to let go
That hug lives rent-free in my head The thing I didn’t do instead
Can’t rewind, can’t press play This moment slipping away
If I had the courage to say I’d never let you walk away
I should’ve kissed you, I know But I held you too long to let go
That hug lives rent-free in my head The thing I didn’t do instead
Shadows, shadows Now I′m chasing shadows
Now I′m chasing shadows We should’ve made a move
We should’ve made a move I should’ve kissed you, I know
Now I′m just chasing shadows That hug lives rent-free in my head
The thing I didn’t do instead
The Thing I Didn't Do
