lyrics

yes he just pulled up in his car
how did things ever get this far
all the weeks that just flew by
must have been hard for you to live your lie

no i'm not going to start a fight
i know. you didn't sleep a wink last night
i know this whole mess has been hard on you
sure. it’s the very least that i can do

but what i just don't get
is why you couldn't have just said
that you loved someone else instead
instead you said

the truth of the matter is
i only ever loved you for the way you loved me
oh baby don't take this wrong
but you took me just a little too long

yes he's waiting by your bags
guess he's that friend you always had to text
yes it took me quite a while
but i was happy just to see you smile

what happened to those words you said
when we were lazing on the bed
this wasn't quite what i had expect
i guess i did find love in stead

but what i just don't get
is why you couldn't have just said
that you loved someone else instead
instead you said

the truth of the matter is
i only ever loved you for the way you loved me
oh baby don't take this wrong
but you took me just a little too long
