  • Same lips red, same eyes blue
    Same white shirt, couple more tattoos
    But it's not you and it's not me
    Tastes so sweet, looks so real
    Sounds like somethin' that I used to feel
    But I can't touch what I see

    We're not who we used to be
    We're not who we used to be
    We're just two ghosts standin' in the place of you and me
    Tryin' to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

    The fridge light washes this room white
    Moon dances over your good side
    This was all we used to need
    Tongue-tied like we've never known
    Tellin' those stories we already told
    'Cause we don't say what we really mean

    We're not who we used to be
    We're not who we used to be
    We're just two ghosts standin' in the place of you and me
    We're not who we used to be
    We're not who we used to be
    We're just two ghosts swimmin' in a glass half-empty
    Tryin' to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

    We're not who we used to be
    We're not who we used to be
    We're just two ghosts standin' in the place of you and me
    We're not who we used to be
    We don't see what we used to see
    We're just two ghosts swimmin' in a glass half-empty
    Tryin' to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

    Tryin' to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
    I'm just tryin' to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat Writer/s: Harry Edward Styles, John Henry Ryan, Julian Collin Bunetta, Mitchell Kristopher Rowland, Tyler Samuel Johnson

  • Bee from SydneyPhenomenal that Harry can write a song referencing someone with blue eyes and tattoos during a period where he and Louis had to become ghosts to each other in public, and some geniuses still think it's about Taylor Swift. Because she's the only person in the world who has red lips? White shirt? He and Louis also shared a white shirt many times.
    Btw, you're misrepresenting his 'ah no' in response to Nick. It was more like 'AAAH! NO!' Because it is not about Taylor. He's not going to straight up tell you that, but he said 'no' as best he can. And it's obvious. Just like Haylor was one of the most obvious PR stunts of all time.
  • J M from Canadathe song is about Louis Tomlinson ...Taylor Swift doesn't have a tattoo
  • Mathilde from FranceIt's about Louis Tomlinson.
