[Verse 1: Winona Oak]
I would have walked through fire to kiss your lips
Do you still think about it, of what you did?
Still see your old apartment, like a bad trip
Wish I could forget all the places we've been

[Pre-Chorus: Winona Oak]
Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes
Boy, you know how to make a girl cry
Was sleeping in a bed full of lies
And now that I'm older, I can see why

[Chorus: Winona Oak]
You made me feel high
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope

[Post-Chorus: Winona Oak]
Hope
Hope
Hope
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope

[Verse 2: Andrew Taggart]
Always another bender, I lose control
I thought I'd get it back when
You came back home to me, darling
But I never had it, did I? Your heart's a trick
And all the magic we felt was just a hit

[Pre-Chorus: Winona Oak & Andrew Taggart]
Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes
Boy, you know how to make a girl cry
Was sleeping in a bed full of lies
And now that I'm older, I can see why

[Chorus: Winona Oak & Andrew Taggart]
You made me feel high
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know (Now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope

[Post-Chorus: Winona Oak & Andrew Taggart]
Hope
Hope ('Cause you had me so low)
Hope (Now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope

[Chorus: Winona Oak & Andrew Taggart]
'Cause you had me so low, low, low
You only seemed tall
'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth
I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you
Now that I know (Now that I know)
That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope

The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers are a New York City-based duo consisting of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall. They write and produce their songs, and often feature guest vocalists.

The duo rose to fame with their 2014 viral hit, “#Selfie” and then broke into the mainstream with their hit song “Roses” and their debut EP Bouquet.

In a March 2016 YouTube video, the duo talked about plans to release songs featuring their vocals. This was proven when “Closer” was released on July 2016 with Andrew Taggart as co-vocalist, alongside American singer-songwriter Halsey. “Closer” became both The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s most famous song.
