Lyrics

False Start

[Verse 1]

I saw you at the top of the hill

You were looking down

You were standing still

Finger in your pocket, 5 dollar bills

Considering your options, I don't think she’ll tell

Another broken heart another space to fill

[Chorus]

You missed the best part

Saxophones and a false start

You were at home and I was falling apart

Hungry, I was giving it all away

[Verse 2]

Now what was I doing so low?

After the show, I watched you go

Was it a good reason, I'll never know

But I can't seem to let it all go

[Chorus]

You missed the best part

Saxophones and a false start

You were at home and I was falling apart

Hungry, I was giving it all away

Watch me, I was giving it all away

Hungry, I’m still giving it away

Watch me, I'm still giving it all away

[Outro]

You missed thе best part

You missed the bеst part

You missed the best part

You missed the best part

You missed the best part

You missed the best part

You missed the best part

You missed the best part

You missed the best part

You missed the best part
