"Chicago" lyrics

"Chicago"

I saw you had a baby, did you
Use any of the names we liked?
And is your brother doin' okay?
Is he still gettin' out of fights?
I'm sorry that your mum don't like me
I'm sorry that I brought that on myself

They say, "Bitter ends turn sweet in time"
Is that true of yours and mine?

'Cause if you're lonely in Chicago
You can call me, baby
Has it been long enough that you can forgive me?
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
It just wasn't meant to be

Have you seen how my life's been goin'?
'Cause I've been wondering what you'd say
Would you have told me to keep goin'?
Or would you say to walk away?
You always made me feel much better
And I'll always be grateful for that

They say, "Bitter ends turn sweet in time"
Is that true of yours and mine?

And you feel lonely in Chicago
You can call me, baby
Has it been long enough that you can forgive me?
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
I didn't have to search 'cause I still know your number
I bet that you didn't think that I'd remember
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
It just wasn't meant to be

It just wasn't meant to be
No, it just wasn't meant to be
It just wasn't meant to be

So, if you're lonely in Chicago
You can call me, baby
Has it been long enough that you can forgive me?
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
I didn't have to search 'cause I still know your number
I bet sometimes you still like to wear my jumper
Just because it didn't work
Doesn't mean it's meaningless to me
It just wasn't meant to be


Writer(s): Louis Tomlinson, David Gibson
"It's the most traditional pop song on the album in terms of structure, melody and lyrically, but I think it's done in a credible honest way," told Louis Tomlinson about "Chicago". "Lyrically, I'm really proud of it, and I don't think I could have written it five years ago. There's a sense of maturity to it, not necessarily in the lyrics, but the concept itself."
