[Verse 1]
Give me a minute of your time
And let me explain it, and tell you why
I'm in over my head now, look in my eyes
I'm afraid, I'm losing my mind again

[Verse 2]
I recall now, when they said
"Run as fast as you can girl, he's no good"
And I stayed, 'cause I honestly believe
In you and your heart

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dear, I know it's true, and I'm losing you
'Cause there's much better girls out there
And I look back and regret
How I dropped my heart again

[Chorus 1]
And I wonder, wonder why
It's gotta be this way, it's always this way
And I gave all I got
To make you feel special

[Post-Chorus 1]
Your kiss, forever on my lips
Forever on my skin, forever on my mind
I'll never fall again, like I fell for you
My nightmare came true
[Verse 3]
This is me swallowing
All my pride, and my pain, and my anger
I threw it away, 'cause I'm willing to tell you
What you're going to miss when I'm gone

[Verse 4]
We would've snuggled on the sofa, and would've watched "Restless"
I'm not much for bad things, but for you, I'd go all the way
And we'd dance to our favourite songs, and favourite bands
Like Tegan and Sara, do you remember?

[Verse 5]
I'd sleep in your sweater
And keep you safe and sound
And love every inch of your body, and kiss all your scars
I'd make you laugh, when you were about to get mad

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now I know it was wrong
When I thought I got back in your head
And they said, "He doesn't deserve you"
And I didn't care again, I didn't mind again

[Chorus 2]
And I wonder, wonder why
It's gotta be this way, it's always this way
And I gave all I got
To be the best you'll ever had
[Post-Chorus 2]
Your blue eyes, forever in my mind
Forever in my head, forever in the past
We'll be two strangers with memories
Love will find me, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess

[Chorus 3]
And I wonder, wonder why
It's gotta be this way, it's always this way
If I only get you by saying goodbye
I don't want to stay

[Outro]
You walked away, wouldn't give it a try
You changed your mind, it's alright
I understand, I do, I understand, I do
I understand, I do, I wouldn't want me, too
