One of the best songs form Bastille's mixtape "Other People's Heartache Pt.2".
Please check out Kate Tempest and Jay Brown, they are both freakin amazing! Links are below.
The lyrics by Kate are also in one of her beautiful poems called "Patterns". Check it out! I love it and listened to it three times in a row!
I hope the lyrics are correct! I wasn't sure about any of them, so sorry in advance.

Lyrics:
I don't wanna talk about it (x8)
I see ahead of me a light that takes my breath
If we're only ever looking back, then how can we expect
To see each other as we are, for all that we've become
Would we be friends at all if we weren't friends when we were young?I want to feel close to you for more than just a sake,
Of the place that we grew up in
and all them times when we got baked in the park
Look, if you take me apart, you'll find half of me is you
But half of me is asking me to start a new
You look the same but I don't recognise you,
I'm looking you dead in the face and I can't find you
Don't like the way we always talk in the past tense,
But you can't explain the present
till you work out what the past meant
These are the days that bind us together, forever
These little things define us, forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
There's a man i've known for years, and still to this day do I know him
I love him very much, it's very hard for me to show him
Back then and even now I feel there's something that I owe him
And that feeling should be going over time
But no, it's growing
We were kid mates, making mistakes, playing give-take
Big hearts battling them big snakes, rattling their tails
He was like the wind in my sails,
I was like the water for his keel,
It was real
It used to hurt my flesh that his water scars were heated steel
He use to hurt his flesh just to see if he could feel
To cut a long short: He was never really the strong sort
Got in to the wrong sport, big swigs, long snorts
Caught in that spiral, saw attempts to help him spiteful
But soon he got so down that he got on the brown, word got roundPeople did not like the sound,
they told me to stop popping round to see him
I kept disagreeing, soon he was a different being
He got in to stealing, robbing, I'd still see him frequent, often
Eyes were throbbing, weeping, sobbing, freaking out,
He wouldn't speak about the things that made him weak,
His doubt would stop his throat mid sentence
His face would paint repentance
While his actions spoke dependance
Friendship became difficult
To say the least, he played the beast so well
I wondered how I could ever make our peace
That's when we drifted, never argued, it just became clear
The parts of him I loved so well had slowly disappeared
But those are the days that bind us together, forever
And these little things define us, forever, forever
All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry?
It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie?
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
I'm gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
I'm gonna find you and make you want me
