can’t believe you did that to me
but it’s okay
i’m not surprised
when i still look you in the face
i see the lovely in disguise
and when i see you standing there
and you’re breaking at the seams
i see the other part of you
who has always been beneath
and i didn’t think that you would do me like that
but things just happen for the hell of it
and i didn’t know you were poison to me
until i took the time to be who i wanted to be
can’t believe you turned out so mean
it’s funny cause you think that you won
you tried to really ruin my life
but you’re only showing who you’ve become
don’t recognize you in the mirror
wouldn’t pin you down in a crowd
left a deep wound in my chest now
so happy that you’re not around
yeah we might have some history
and i might dream of some
you’re still stuck in my mind sometimes
don’t talk about it cause it’s tough
you broke me open with a smile
you made me feel so close
still think of the songs we played
and the places that we’d go
can’t believe you did that to me
can’t believe you did that to me
given all our history
can’t believe you did that to me
when i still look you in the face
i see the lovely in disguise
even when i read you differently
i try to skip between the lies
