I declare you the winner
You're my longest reigning queen
But the sun sets on our time
There'll be no diamond jubilee
I'm no saint I'm a sinner
And your record's hardly clean
There's a balance to set right
And yeah you know it

Cos lately I've been thinking about the
birds eye view
I never told a lie about you
I know that I deserved that too
Yeah lately, baby, thinking bout the birds eye view
I never told a lie about you
I guess I'm just the one that

Had a good time but I gotta go
Yeah it's bittersweet but you gotta grow
So I'll tell you now what I'm going to do
Gunna spend my life with another you
You had good credit but you're going bust
Just like Mayer imma a sing about trust
So I'll tell you now what I'm going to do
Gunna spend my life with another you

Say bye bye, bye bye, to you
Bye bye, bye bye to you

Tell your fam that I love em long time
Til the end I will love u all time
Not gunna hide it'll hurt a long time
But its gunna take time to heal

So don't tell me all the lies that you're gunna tell
Don't try to make it better down at my hotel,
I don't doubt it baby, yeah you knew me well
But you now a stranger to me

Summertimes at Sunshine Beach
Late night drinks and a stairwell kiss
Bought a ticket overseas two weeks
No one ever made me feel like this
All the times that you said it to me
Nowhere else that you'd rather be
Wild nights when it seemed so real
Now it's so hard to know

ABOUT SPECTORAL & BACKLIGHTS THAT BLIND US:

Following three successful EPs, Spectoral has built a name for himself as an innovative collaborator, endlessly exploring the boundaries of pop, hip-hop and R&B. But he's never released a debut album... until now.

Boasting over 1.3 MILLION streams and a considerable fanbase, music publications such as Pilerats and Notion have compared Spectoral's sound to world-class contemporaries such as James Blake, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Joji and Flume.
