[Verse 1]
I tried to be someone
I lied to be someone else for you
If I had done something a little bit differently
We would've moved in a better direction than this, baby

[Verse 2]
If you were human
If you were who I'd assumed you were
You wouldn't have done this, oh, no
I thought I did something
But she would do anything to bring me down
And she brought me down

[Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 3]
You say that you love me but you act like you don't
You used to adore me, laughed at all of my jokes
Don't take this the wrong way:
You put me in harm's way
When we had our first kiss, it was your favorite thing
And you weren't lying when you said it would sting
Don't take this the wrong way:
You put me in harm's way
Imagine our children, how fucked would they be?
Mommy's a psycho, daddy lives in a dream
Don't take this the wrong way—mhm—mhm—mhm
I told you I'm sorry, couldn't thank you enough
I thought that I loved you but we weren't in love
We weren't in love
You were my dream, the way that we fuck
You liked to think we would push through the battle
Ignoring the problems just to hold what we had
Don't take this the wrong way
Don't take this the wrong way

The Neighbourhood

Hailing from Newbury Park, California, upstart indie band The Neighbourhood finds its influences as diverse as hip-hop (where lead vocalist Jesse Rutherford had his musical beginnings) and the classic black and white aesthetic that often dominates their music videos and outfits. The current members are Jesse, Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels (guitarists), Mikey Margott (bassist), and Brandon Fried (drummer). The Neighbourhood is often abbreviated to “The NBHD.” The band are easily recognisable by their signature upside-down house logo, which is tattooed on every band member.

With the release of the extended plays Thank You, and I’m Sorry…, the band accumulated a wide range of fandom appreciation.

Following the rising success of their hit single “Sweater Weather,” the band released their debut album in 2013 entitled I Love You. to a far wider popularity than that which preceded them. The band have also gained traction over the years by touring with artists like Travis Scott, Danny Brown, Imagine Dragons and Charli XCX.
