Sweeter in History - Gabriella Cilmi, Eliot James, Adam Coney

It all looked so good in your memory

But it didn’t taste as sweet as it was meant to be

How did I end up caught between two cities?

Heaven knows that now I’m so out of touch

Lost in time need to find, wanna feel that rush

Still hear your whisper in my ear like you did before

Oh, I heard you didn’t get what you came for, baby

I heard it wasn’t all you thought it would be

Time is a healer, but sometimes, baby

Some things are sweeter in history

Sweeter in history

Lord knows I tried but I can’t let go

Stuck hanging on to something that we used to know

You never wake the dead while they’re sleeping

You show up thinking we can pick up where we left before

I hate to tell you this but only ghosts can walk through walls

Wishful thinking never took you where you need to go

Oh there’s a reason why I locked you away

Because I’m trying to keep the memory the same

Too good to be true, I knew

I don’t know what you’re hoping to find

Oh, did you think that I’d just fall into line

With your perfect design

And everything would just be how it used to be?
