Lyrics
They say it's better to have loved and lost,
A penny saved, another penny tossed
They say that opposites attract,
They say a lot of shit like that
CHORUS:
Was it such an inconvenience that my ceiling was your floor?
Did the world completely change
Or do I see it in a way I never looked at it before?
No one's as beautiful, no one's as beautiful
As when they're walking out, walking out the door.
Was that regret I saw before the wall concealed your actions?
Did I need to see that in your eyes to get the root of the attraction?
I knew that you weren't coming back
That theory is a proven fact now CHORUS
BRIDGE: It was worth a thousand words
And every word was so damn clever
No, you never looked as good, no, you never looked as good
Till you were leaving me foreverä.
CHORUS
