I was treading water ‘til the minute we met
‘Til you caught a teacher’s daughter with a dangerous text
I read it like a bible and I wore it like a bulletproof vest
Found myself a lover that made everything rhyme
Slept under your covers it made everything right
Yeah I was the dj and the darling of your passenger side
So I know that you did bad
But if one more person says it, I might go mad
Yeah I know it didn’t last
And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had
The issue is I know all this and I, I still want you back
Found yourself a lover, I bet she doesn’t sing
But baby when you touch her, I bet she doesn’t flinch
She’ll have you every summer when I only had you half of a spring
You left like an assassin, maybe that’s for the best
Coz if you’d told me what would happen, I think I would’ve begged
So you got to be a coward and I salvaged a little self respect
Yeah I know that you did bad
But if one more person says it, I might go mad
Yeah I know it didn’t last
And what was cheap to you, to me was all I had
The issue is I know all this and I, I still want you back
I am not allowed to want you any longer
I must go out with a stranger, I must kiss him to get stronger
So I don’t tell a soul
But I’d be yours again tomorrow if you wanted
But you don’t wanna
So I know that you did bad
But if one more person says it, I might go mad
It wasn’t real, it was for me but you know that
And I bet you’ve thrown away our photographs
The issue is I know all this and I, I still want you back
