Lyrics

(Instrumental Intro)
(verse 1)
Didn't you think for a minute
Did you even blink before you did it
Did I enter your thoughts
Or did all that he bought for you buy you away from me
So what if the cards life dealt to me
Were nothing but hard
You felt for me you said
It's not about how well you're fed
It's about what matters most instead

(pre-chorus)
Don't get me wrong, I'd love for that to be the truth
But you're gone, and I've realized that it's no use

(chorus)
Now I'm sorry but you owe me an apology
For the times we've had that you seemed so glad
And I'm sorry but you owe me an apology
Cause I gave you all of me and look at the thanks I got
You broke up with me

(verse 2)
How did it go
Was it incredible
How did he forego the inevitable abandonment of you
I loved you, how could you just up and abandon me
I don't wanna be home
As soon as I open the door I'm alone
There's an echo in my room
I'm not all over someone new
I'm not like that, I'm not like you
