lyrics

We started out as strangers, but we grew into ourselves.

We never wanted the danger that this comes with.

We were singing in the rain. We were missing our ship.

If it’s all the same tell me who do you see yourself with.

Well, it wasn’t me.

We wanted so bad (wanted so bad)

to feel something, (to feel something)

but I can barely see your face.

She muttered something (she muttered something)

That sounded just like (sounded just like)

I want you,

But it wasn’t true.

Well, what do you deserve? Because I feel worthless.

Such good intent, but it hasn’t made a dent.

I’m still singing by myself now that you’ve moved on,

And if you were to tell someone that you were wrong,

Make sure it isn’t me.

We wanted so bad (wanted so bad)

to feel something, (to feel something)

but I can barely see your face.

She muttered something (she muttered something)

That sounded just like (sounded just like)

I want you,

But it wasn’t true.

Momma always told me, “if you don’t have nothing nice to say then you don’t say nothing at all.”

I don’t say much now.

I will say this though, that’s just the way that it goes. Fights they seldom get thrown,

But you gotta take a swing to know.
