You chose yourself, you sent me hell
I called for help,

Sequence 11- int.- shed- night- headlight
Lookingat the camara overa pool table withpeople playing,countonfingersfor“me,vee, Jim,ski
and g”
Cleaned his blood out the rug, image still in my head
What's deep, I still owe you 250 for a Z
And what's fucking peak, I know we're never gonna speak again
It's just me, Vee, Jim, Ski and G in the end

Sequence 25- int- car – day- natural lightwithgirl
[Verse 3]
(we're both) Going through trauma, emotional torture
You was 19, I was 24 but who was more maturer
Used to pull up in your Fiat 500 on the corner

5. Used to ride around London not giving a fuck who saw us
Sequence 26- int- car- night– car lights
Mouthingthe words
Go to war for each other I never wanted this for us
Both grew up in a single parent household
We were poor but it was pure love
Sequence 27- int- abandonedbuilding-day- natural light
Mouthingwords emotionally withbat/axeovershoulder
you made me feel like your love
Before you commit to being loyal
It's worth knowing how you was brought up
Before we got caught up, before we had a daughter
Coulda given her a life our parents couldn't afford to
Sequence 28- int- shed- night- overhead lights
Stoodone side of pool table holdingapool que aboutto take a shot
Partners no matter what come between us
If I make you so unhappy I had no reason to keep ya
And if I really love ya then I reluctantly free ya
Maybe growing apart was always part of the procedure
Couldn't be a leader in a time of need I become weak
Sequence 29- int- kitchen- night- overheadlights
Cuttinga sandwichwithgirl facingawayfrom camara makinga tee
I loved you most when we was at our worst, that made it even deeper
The first week
Sequence 30- int- kitchen- night- overheadlights

I lay there wide awake and wonder what we coulda been
Sequence 31- int- kitchen- night- overheadlights

Sequence 32- int- kitchen- night- overheadlights
Pourkettle intomugwitha cigarette inhand

sequence 33- int- home gym- night- overheadlight
sat on the benchwithpeople liftinginthe background
Hope you happy now I left you be, a solid member left the team
We lost the fight, no extra time, no referee
No acceptance speech, just lessons I kept with me
I don't need anybody to accept me, except from me
sequence 32-int-car-late evening- overheadcarlighting
sat in the car mouthingthe words
I went from want to need, you went from need to want
To "what you want from me?", to finally wanting to leave and be free
sequence 33- int- home gym- night- overheadlighting
benchpressing
Find inner peace, find the piece that runs from ya
Left you after one week, that's how you know I got love for ya
sequence 34- int- shed- night- overheadlights
stoodotherendof pool table holingpool que
What's meant to be is meant to be, it'll come to ya
And if it doesn't who gives a fuck? Just live it up
For now our memories deleted, and feelings too
You used to make me feel like you would always keep it true
sequence 35- int- abandonedbuilding-day- natural lighting
mouthingthe words
I said I couldn't live if I couldn't be with you
I was being used, wasn't treating you like my equal
That was peak to do
It's no wonder why you're leaving
When the person that you dream of turns out to be a demon too

7. sequence 36- ext- woods- late evening- natural light
stoodontop of hill beingfilmedfromthe bottomof the hill
We was a team of two, I wasn't evil g
Just desperate for attention and I needed you
To the point i'm like a fiend for you
sequence 37- int- abandonedbuilding-day- natural lighting
pacingaround buildingwithaxe/batinhand
The more demeaning you became the deeper that my feelings grew
When we wasn't beefing or screaming about the kinda things that people do
We was cool, wish we coulda seen it through
sequence 38- int- chipshop- day- natural lighting
sat inchip shop,boyand girl laughinh
Only me and you know about the evenings we're eating food
Laughing till we crease, now take it with ease
We was goals, we were greez, we were making 'em believe
Remember when the Subway guy put bacon in the cheese?
sequence 39- int- chipshop- night- overheadlighting
boysat in chipshopeatingchipson theirown
I'm dead out on my feet, I can't chase you on my knees
I know all you feel is pain, you probably hate as much as me
sequence 40- int- home gym- late evening-overheadlighting
boysat on bench withboysliftingweightsinbackground
Shoulda been stronger than you, you were stronger than me
You just fucking made me stronger than I ever coulda been
Cause three months after Marc died you decided to leave
sequence 41-int- shed- late evening- overheadlights
sat on sofaotherside of the pool table withboysplayingpool
What's mad is when I look at you, i'm reminded by me
If I was unhappy and wanted freedom i'd take it
If I wanted to make peace i'd make it
That's some selfish shit but I rate it

8. We only got ourselves in this matrix
sequence 41- ext- woods- late evening- natural light
overheadshot slowlyzoomingintothe background
Yea, the cycle we couldn't break it
sequence 42- int- shed- night- overheadlighting
It's just a shame we did the same thing as everyone else who don't plan for kids
We didn't plan for this, shit's cancerous, now the cycle spins
sequence 42- ext- woods- late evening- natural light
overheadshotslowlyzoomingintothe background
Trust, no time to whinge, I guess this time society wins
Next time i'll try again, until next time goodbye my friend
