lyrics

I should have known something was wrong,
never ever written you a song,
oh well the day we met
I wrote a song about someone else.

I should have said this before,
still it's better late than never,
it's kinda clear I want you gone,
you knew this wouldn't last forever.

I can make words rhyme
but I can't make them come to life,
and you can take me high
but you will never love me right,
I might be thinking 'bout someone else,
I might be wishing it was over,
I might be wishing I never came,
I guess I'll learn when I get older.

You stopped the car in a dark alley,
I didn't realize I didn't really want this,
it was warm in the backseat
but I wanted you to be him.

'Cause what's the point of doing this with someone you don't love?
and don't you dare pretend you love me 'cause I know that
you don't, you don't, you don't.

I can make words rhyme
but I can't make them come to life,
and you can take me high
but you will never love me right,
I might be thinking 'bout someone else,
I might be wishing it was over,
I might be wishing I never came,
I guess I'll learn when I get older.

If you wanted to know what a song about you would sound like,
it sounds like regrets and mistakes,
does it sound like everything you wanted?
like everything you wanted, my friend.
Does it sound like everything you wanted?
Was this everything you wanted?

I can make words rhyme
but I can't make them come to life,
and you can take me high
but I will never love you right,

I might be thinking 'bout someone else,
I might be wishing it was over,
I might be wishing I never came,
I guess I'll learn when I get older.

I can make words rhyme
but I can't make them come to life,
and you can take me high
but you will never love me right,
I might be thinking 'bout someone else,
I might be wishing it was over,
I might be wishing I never came,
I guess I'll learn when I get older.

I guess I'll learn when I get older,
I guess I'll learn when I get older.
