  • I've been thinkin'
    Was it all a different scene in my head?
    Ooh
    You've got powers
    You instructed all the demons instead
    Mmm

    Ooh, everyone sees a man so tall, so perfect, they said
    Yeah, you've got ambition
    I thought we would grow in time, I wasn't prepared
    And now, am I forgiven?

    Oh
    You look like you're so damn scared
    I don't really think you care
    You know, you know that our time is through
    "It's over when I leave," you said, "we're never gonna meet again"
    You played your game, it was all for you

    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh
    It's all for you

    Is it always just a stand in for a man that can't heal?
    Ooh
    I've got arrows, am I shooting through the sky for us still
    Na, na, na
    And I have a spent a year, wondering if I had all of the blame
    Ah, yeah (ah yeah)
    And love's a bitter fruit if you choose to remain in your shame
    But you couldn't listen, no

    You look like you're so damn scared
    I don't really think you care
    You know, you know that our time is through
    "It's over when I leave," you said, "we're never gonna meet again"
    You played your game, it was all for you

    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh
    It's all for you
    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh
    It's all for you

    Kneeling at your temple, love was accidental
    Singing bruises, I was foolish
    Thinking I was careful, losing every battle
    Singing bruises, I was foolish
    No hands, no rush
    No touch, no drug
    No blood, no love
    I'm doing it all for you
    No hands, no rush
    No touch, no drug
    No blood, no love
    I'm doing it all for you

    You look like you're so damn scared
    I don't really think you care (don't care)
    You know, you know that our time is through (you know that our time is)
    "It's over when I leave," you said, "we're never gonna meet again"
    You played your game, it was all for you

    I said, "so long", I said, "so long"
    I said, "so long", it's all for you
    I said, "so long", I said, "so long"
    I said, "so long", it's all for you Writer/s: Greg Kurstin, Mark Ralph, Olly Alexander
