"Julia" lyrics

"Julia"

- My colleague, kinda
- Yeah
(When we met)
- That seems right, yeah

When we met

When we met
I wasn't me
I was so numb
Yeah, I was so lonely

Out on the run
I wasn't free
And you came along
But you couldn't save me

My hesitation and holding my breath
I led you in to the garden of my loneliness
Wish that you left
Before it all burned down

Oh, Julia
I'm sorry what I do to you
I push and pull and mess with your head
Then get in your bed 'cause I'm weak, deep down

Oh, Julia
I wish I never lied to you
I never meant to hurt you like that
And if I could go back I'd leave you alone

When I left
I wasn't sure
That I could love
Love anymore

But my hesitation and holding my breath
I led you in to the garden of my loneliness
Wish that you left
Before it all burned down

Oh, Julia
I'm sorry what I do to you
I push and pull and mess with your head
Then get in your bed 'cause I'm weak, deep down

Oh, Julia
I wish I never lied to you
I never meant to hurt you like that
And if I could go back I'd leave you alone

I won't lie to you no more
I won't lie to you no more
'Cause I know I did before
Hope you find what you looking for

"Julia" is inspired by the relationship Lauv had with singer Julia Michaels in 2018. According to her, it was Lauv who broke up with her, and it seems like he wants to apologize in this song saying that he had to deal with some mental issues.
