Love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right
|
|
|
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that stro-
|
|
|
I hear the sound of my own voice asking you to stay
|
|
|
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
|
|
|
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
|
|
|
We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time
|
|
|
I can't say "hello" to you and risk another "goodbye"
|
|
|
Like, we are never getting back together, like, ever
|
|
|
You took the time to memorize me, my fears, my hopes and dreams
|
|
|
You wear your best apology but I was there to watch you leave
|
|
|
And for the first time I had something to lose
|
|
|
Words, how little they mean when you're a little too late
|
|
|
Another name goes up in light, you wonder if you'll make it out alive
|
|
|
Meet me there tonight and let me know that it's not all in my mind
|
|
|
Don't you see the starlight, starlight? Don't you dream impossible things?
|
|
|
I've been spending the last eight months, thinking all love ever does is break a-
|
|
|
And what do you do when the one who means the most to you is the one who didn't -
|
|
|
But you're in London and I break down 'cause it's not fair that you're not around
|
|
|
I wanna see you pick up your phone and tell her you're coming home
|
|
|
What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into?
|
|
|
I waited on every careless word hoping they might turn sweet again
|
|
|
How can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22?
|
|
|
I keep picturing her lips on your neck, I can't unsee it
|
|
|
Standing here, hoping this gets to you
|
|
|
I bet you think about me when you say "oh my God, she's insane, she wrote a song-
|
|
|
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity
|
|
|
Say you'll never let 'em tear us apart
|
|
|
We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts
|
|
|
Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
