LYRICS
I told you that my band started popping off
You told me that you played guitar
I knew that you’d lied at the time you said it
But you could play my heart
Took a couple weeks you were shredding
Playin’ like a rock n roll star
Holy god damn you were so annoying
But you had my heart
Guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something good
Guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something
Tryna figure out why I stuck it out
Looking back what the hell
Five years losing my friends and family
I lost myself
ailchim
Guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something good
Guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something good
Good enough to keep me
Running to you arms
Telling everyone I know about how
Smart I think you are
Guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something good
Guess I had to stay for something
Had stay for something
Good enough to know you
Was all I wished to be
It hurts when I remember
You were sometimes good to me
And they tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord I know I used to
But I just can’t do it
You’re just some long lost baby
Hope you find what you’re looking for
And they tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord I know I used to
But I just can’t do it
they tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord I know I used to
But I just can’t do it
they tell me I should hate you
Say you put me through it
Lord I know I used to
But I just can’t do it
You’re just some long lost baby
Hope you find what you’re looking for

[@roj2k]

The timing of this song feels like it the universeis sending me a msg :) so many similar things as the song . 5 years with a manipulative manbaby, yet iv gone back twice after weeks apart. This song is giving me the power I need to make myself happy again instead of another. Thank you, CMAT.. see u in the olympia ❤

I totally got Empire vibes too😊

[@carinaxavier3378]

to be honest with you guys, this song, to me, sounds like going for a run in the middle of the night, screaming through the streets with all my emotions. I did this in my house.

[@EileenDeFreest]

Never heard of CMAT before (I'm 62 😅) and just saw her sing this incredible song live on Graham Norton (English talk show) and I am devastated. WOW. What a song. What a singer and what a band. CMAT is special. She's going on tour for her new album. GO. SEE. HER! ❤🎉🌟

[@lolsaXx]

Me too! (I'm only 28 though)

[@skinman620]

Me too. Made me stop what I was doing and really watch a show that’s normally just on in the background. Absolutely sensational. What a performer and what a brilliant song.

[@PrincessxXxZEOD]

This is lovely Eileen. I’m going to see her in Dublin this month 🎉❤

[@TheSeekeroftruth1]

'I wanna be a Cowboy' is my fav!

[@abbymadden7809]

yet another banger, she cannot make a bad song !!!

[@AislingOwens]

“And they tell me I should hate you, say you put me through it, lord I know I used to but I just can’t do it. You’re just some long lost baby, hope you find what you’re looking for” Those lyrics broke my heart. 💔

[@lisetteem3054]

It’s Chatsworth House, it made me laugh out loud, when I saw it was filmed in the Hurdsfield estate, where I used to live. I heard this girl on the “Off Menu” podcast and wanted see what the music was like, was a bit distracted by the video, nice music though.

Amongst its many good points, this song has an unusual and great bass line which builds in complexity and intensity throughout, definitely listen to it on something that has a decent bass, not just on a laptop etc.
