I thought I'd sing a song for you, I hope I don't take up your time
Songs for other people seem to help get things out of my mind
Even though you took my heart and chose to bend it
Even though you said you loved me and you meant it
There's a reason why I always used to say I love you
So I hope you know every brilliant thing I loved about you
Every brilliant thing I miss without you
And if there's just one thing I wanna tell you, it's that
I hope you know about
Every brilliant thing
I'd write a song with better chords but I don't wanna waste more of my time
I didn't send a text because I hope a song will stay in your mind
Don't write history as though I chose to end it
There's a song in me and I need to defend it
There's a song because I don't know what more I can do
So I hope you know every brilliant thing I loved about you
Every brilliant thing I miss without you
And if there's just one thing I wanna tell you, it's that
I hope you know about
Every brilliant thing
All the things you used to criticise about me
Make me feel like you'll be happier without me
'Cos what you meant to me was always more than I meant to you
So I hope you know every brilliant thing I loved about you
Every brilliant thing I miss without you
And if there's just one thing I wanna tell you, it's that
I hope you know about
So I hope you know every brilliant thing I loved about you
Every brilliant thing I miss without you
And if there's just one thing I wanna tell you, it's that
I hope you know about
Oh, I hope you know every brilliant thing I loved about you
Every brilliant thing I miss without you
And if there's just one thing I wanna tell you, it's that
I hope you know about
So I hope that you know
So I hope you know every brilliant thing I loved about you
Every brilliant thing I miss without you
And if there's just one thing I wanna tell you, it's that
I hope you know about
Every brilliant thing
