It's like when you're a kid, and you lose the game
The game you only know and understand when it's explained
That's how I used to feel when someone said your name
But I grew out of you causing me pain
Whoa, ooh-whoa
Guess I pictured us different
Whoa, ooh-whoa, oh
Maybe it'd be different
If you kissed me goodnight on my head
I would miss it, but you didn't
And every time you swore on your life
You were lying, so how are you living?
(Oh) I cried at every party
(Oh) screaming doesn't mean sorry
If you gave me a reason to love you, I'd love you
But you shoulda, coulda, didn't
Stopped seeing you in clouds of just-lit cigarettes
And in the faceless people that I walk by on the street
I met somebody else, I'm really happy now
So I wish you well, but you're still going to hell
Whoa, ooh-whoa
Guess I pictured us different
Whoa, ooh-whoa, oh
Maybe it'd be different
If you kissed me goodnight on my head
I would miss it, but you didn't
And every time you swore on your life
You were lying, so how are you living?
(Oh) I cried at every party
(Oh) screaming doesn't mean sorry
If you gave me a reason to love you, I'd love you
But you shoulda, coulda, didn't
Missed you for so long
But now missing you just feels wrong
Don't remember how I got here
But I'm here, I'm still here
If you kissed me goodnight on my head
I would miss it, but you didn't
And every time you swore on your life
You were lying, so how are you still living?
Oh, I cried at every party
(Oh) screaming doesn't mean sorry
If you gave me a reason to love you, I'd love you
But you shoulda, coulda, didn't
