Just Because - Matilda Mann

Lyrics by: Jonah Summerfield/Matilda Mann

Composed by: Matilda Mann/Jonah Summerfield

I can say it if you don't know how

Good intentions never make a sound

Apart from nothing ever gets past you

So I thought you knew how to read my mind

What's the point, why do we even try?

Conversations on a loop, and I

Can't see a happy ending where

The credits get a round of applause

And everything you want

It isn't here, I'm not the one

Don't get me wrong, we had our fun

But now I'm long gone

What will it take for you to see

That I was always gonna leave

I know you want this to be love

But it isn't me

And it isn't us

I think it ain't something I'm not

Or you just carelessly forgot

That just because you think it's love

Doesn't mean it is

Doesn't mean it was

I can tell that you romanticise

Every second that I look into your eyes

But you're not even thinking straight

I won't hesitate

So I'll say goodbye

'Cause everything you need

It doesn't have to come from me

It's not to say we had our fun

But when it's all said and done

What will it take for you to see

That I was always gonna leave

I know you want this to be love

But it isn't me

And it isn't us

I think it ain't something I'm not

Or you just carelessly forgot

That just because you think it's love

Doesn't mean it is

Doesn't mean it was
