amsterdam Songtext
von Alex Teh

This is me rewriting a story
That used to be
When I was fifteen
Of what we could′ve been
You were a vision full of life
Filled with ecstasy
We got too close when you were eighteen

Amster(damn), why'd you have to
Love me so well
Amster(damn), you came to be the man
I thought that you wouldn′t be
Amster(damn)
I hope to never step a foot in your city
Oh Amster (damn)
I loved you too well


Why'd you have to make a promise
That you couldn't keep
Had to say those empty words
Just for you to keep yourself clean
Who would′ve thought that a best friend
Could be a stranger at half-past ten
The boy I knew wouldn′t speak
A half-ass sorry

Oh Amster(damn), why'd you have to
Love me so well
Amster(damn), you came to be the man
I thought that you wouldn′t be
Amster(damn)
I hope to never step a foot in your city
Oh Amster(damn)
I loved you too well

Wrote it on a footnote
To be each other's when we turn thirty
Only to have it torn in the middle of our twenties
Change of plans
Left our future on a postal stamp
Tell your mom I changed my ticket
Cause you′re still in love with someone else


Oh Amster(damn), why'd you have to
Love me so well
Amster(damn), you came to be the man
I thought that you wouldn′t be
Amster(damn)
I hope to never step a foot in your city
Oh Amster(damn)
I loved you too well

Oh Amster(damn), why'd you have to
Love me so well
Amster(damn), you came to be the man
I thought that you wouldn't be
Amster(damn)
I hope to never step a foot in your city
Oh Amster(damn)
I loved you too well

It′s the city we never got to sleep
It′s the man that you weren't tryna be
It′s the promises you can't keep
I loved you too well
It′s the city we never got to sleep
It's the man that you weren′t tryna be
It's the promises you can't keep
I loved you too well
Amster(damn)
Why′d you have to love me so well
Amster(damn)
This is the last you′d ever see of me
