The Shop Downstairs

I wish we were still there

I spent Three Pounds Seventy Five

Just to keep myself alive

I told you I had eaten

I'm afraid to say I lied

Our spark is worth all of your bite

Am I okay...?

Not even

Am I okay...?

Not even

I listen to all the music that I fell for you to

A bed

A balcony

The shop downstairs,

and me and you

I wish we were still there

I spent my entire life

Just waiting to be by your side

I told you how I was feeling,

and hoped that you were satisfied

Am I okay...?

Not even

Am I okay...?

Not even

I listen to all the music that I fell for you to

A bed

A balcony

The shop downstairs,

and me and you

I wish we were still there
