Project Orange continues to deliver on much of their earlier promise: hummable tunes, earworm-inducing instrumentation, an undercurrent of sadness that doesn’t bother you, until it does.
lyrics
It’s always gonna hurt
Whenever I see you
You’re no longer holding my heart
I wish we were at the start
Oh, you left me with almost
Then I turned into
A stranger in the dark
I had you at hello
Now you have me at goodbye
You had me at hello
I wasn’t trying to say goodbye
You said what if
I don’t feel the same
You said what if
My feelings have changed
You said what if
This won’t work both ways
I said, "Why won’t it be the same?"
You couldn’t handle the distance
Was unaware of the nuisance
Yesterday seems so long ago
You washed away the thought of us
I had you at hello
Now you have me at goodbye
You had me at hello
I wasn’t trying to say goodbye
You said what if
I don’t feel the same
You said what if
My feelings have changed
You said what if
This won’t work both ways
I said "Why won’t it be the same?"
I said what if
I still feel the same
I said what if
My feelings haven’t changed
I said what if
This only worked one way
I said "It’s never gonna be the same"
