I’m sitting here today

wondering how i could ever give you away

I’m playing back all the words that were said

the conversation hits me as bullets to the head

but what’s done is done

there’s no going back

why can’t you see me the way you see her?

wasn’t i the girl you thought you loved first

what can i say, you wanted it this way

so i left, hoping you’d come begging me to stay

All i ever wanted was to make you feel okay

but every time I tried, you just pushed me away

i guess i tried everything in my strength

that doesn’t mean i don’t want you here again

but you made your choice

and all that lingers is your voice

why can’t you see me the way you see her

wasn’t i the girl you thought you loved first

what can i say, you wanted it this way

so i left, praying you’d come begging me to stay

All i ever wanted, was to make you smile

even if it meant being away for a while

but i never expected that to be the end

i know i should be angry at what you did

but all i can think about is this instead

so tell me

why can’t you see me the way you see her?

wasn’t i the girl you said you loved first

what can i say, you wanted it this way

so i left, hoping you’d come asking me

why can’t you look at me like you do her

i thought i was the girl that you fell for first

there’s nothing left to say, because you won’t change your ways

so here i go, knowing you won’t come after me to say

stay.
