Tough Act - Maisie Peters

Composed by：Joe Rubel/Maisie Peters/Sophie Frances Cooke

We rode it to a dead end

Saying goodbye to a best friend

Is the bad part of the right thing to do

I was hard to handle

And we burnt out like a birthday candle

The pictures on the mantle aren't true

Everybody knows that a breakup

Is better when there's someone to hate but

You were my favourite way to stay up and I'd say that still

I know the reasons

Took a couple tries to see 'em

But now everything is through it's you I wanna call though

When all I've known of

Is something that I should let go of

I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'till it's all so hollow

But you are one tough act to follow

I got busy

And you forgot how to miss me

When I'm not much of who you grew up with

Oh you were distracted

And the silence made a hat trick

It's a long list with a lasting fix

Everybody knows that a breakup

Is better when there's someone to hate but

You were my favourite way to stay up and I'd say that still

I know the reasons

Took a couple tries to see 'em

But now everything is through it's you I wanna call though

When all I've known of

Is something that I should let go of

I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'till it's all so hollow

But you are one tough act to follow

And I know that we weren't perfect

So I hope you meet someone tomorrow

And she's everything you wanted

But I hope I'm one tough act to follow

I know the reasons

Took a little time to believe 'em

Now everything is through it's you I wanna call though

When all I've known of

Is something that I should let go of

I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all so hollow

But you are one tough act to follow

You are one tough act to follow
