Manchester Lyrics by Ellie Reed

2023

[Verse]
I landed in Manchester, broke down in the bathroom in the airport
Thinking about you, waiting hours for my train
And the funny thing is, what I was missing
No, it never even existed
'Cause it was all in my head
Sitting on a train, tears running down my face
Headphones on, a song starts playing
It reminded me of you
And I look at the time, I just roll my eyes
Not making a wish this time
'Cause they never come true
[Chorus]
But if it did, I would wish for a second chance
[Verse]
Sitting all alone in my cold, empty room
England's winter proves that I don't deserve thе warmth
I push people out when thеy get too close
Then I wonder why I'm all alone
And I'm back to square one
And I could fill this pond with my tears from last night
Thinking about all the fights I started cause I was wrong
I drink a little too much in Scotland
Wondering what would happen if I called you up
[Chorus]
But if I did, I know you wouldn't pick up
The bridge was burned
It's best to turn around and give up
But what I would do to go back to that July
And stop this mess but it's for the best that I don't try
I don't try
[Outro]
I landed in Austin, but I'm scared to look around
'Cause I know if I see you now
It would start all over
