Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket
Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late
I stood right kwa the tracks, your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they'll be, and lonely we'll wait
We had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
In dreams, I meet wewe in long conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, and different cities
And time is ticking a sweet summer race in you
And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me
'Cause we had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
Distance, timing, break down, fighting
Silence, this train runs off its tracks
Kiss me, try to fix it, would wewe just try to listen
Hang up, give up, for the life of us we can't get it back
A beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic, beautiful tragic, beautiful
What we had, a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
We had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late
I stood right kwa the tracks, your face in a locket
Good girls, hopeful they'll be, and lonely we'll wait
We had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
In dreams, I meet wewe in long conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, and different cities
And time is ticking a sweet summer race in you
And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me
'Cause we had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
Distance, timing, break down, fighting
Silence, this train runs off its tracks
Kiss me, try to fix it, would wewe just try to listen
Hang up, give up, for the life of us we can't get it back
A beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic, beautiful tragic, beautiful
What we had, a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
We had a beautiful magic upendo affair
What a sad beautiful tragic upendo affair
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
wewe walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you...
[Chorus:]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That wewe cry, but wewe don't tell anyone
That wewe might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that upendo was all wewe wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves wewe out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay...
[Repeat Chorus]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone... oh
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
wewe walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you...
[Chorus:]
Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That wewe cry, but wewe don't tell anyone
That wewe might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
I guess it's true that upendo was all wewe wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves wewe out like a penny in the rain
Oh, cause it's not his price to pay
Not his price to pay...
[Repeat Chorus]
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone... oh
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby
