I don't know what went wrong

You got your headphones on

Sitting right across from me

Lip syncing to Short n' Sweet

I noticed he's not there

I see a track of tears

Slowly falling down your cheek

Beautiful as you can be

...

But you don't need somebody in your life, yeah

Who won't shine your light

...

I come around 'cause I'm lookin' for you

Shootin' a shot, got nothin' to lose, so

Let him go-oh

And baby you can run my way

Someone like you should be walkin' on air

D-d-dancing and flippin' your hair

So, let him go-oh, oh

And run my way

...

The movie in my head

Is starrin' us instead

I'm takin' you where you've never been

Where you could be yourself again

See, I don't know what happened

To that girl that was always laughin'

Like Chalamet, you'll play the lead

I know you're not mine

But now I'm thinking you should be

...

'Cause even if someone in your life, yeah

Could turn on a light

...

I come around 'cause I'm lookin' for you

Shootin' a shot, I got nothin' to lose, so

Let him go-oh

And baby you can run my way

Someone like you should be walkin' on air

D-d-dancing and flippin' your hair

So, let him go-oh, oh

And run my way

...

'Cause you deserve somebody in your life, yeah

'Cause you deserve somebody in your life, yeah

Who'd turn on the light, yeah (I turn on the light)

You deserve somebody in your life, yeah

I turn on the light

...

I come around 'cause I'm lookin' for you (Lookin' for you)

Shootin' a shot, I got nothin' to lose, so

Let him go-oh (Baby, let him go)

And baby you can run my way

Someone like you should be walkin' on air (You're walkin' on air)

D-d-dancing and flippin' your hair

So, let him go-oh, oh

And run my way

• But you don't need somebody in your life, yeah

  ➔ Modal Verb 'need' + Negative Contraction

  ➔ The sentence uses the modal verb 'need' to express a lack of requirement. 'Don't' is a contraction of 'do not', making the sentence more conversational. The 'yeah' is a discourse marker, adding emphasis.

• I come around 'cause I'm lookin' for you

  ➔ Informal Contraction + 'because' reduced to 'cause'
