Let's pretend for a second It never happened And we've been together for seven years Instead of only four And all the distance between us Like paper napkins Folded and forgotten on the floor *** All the times since we broke up I've been thinking Trying to figure out why you left And how I'll let you go I think I'm starting to get it And it's partly my fault So I wrote this song to try and let you know That I've thought it through And I think it's true That I ... I don't hate you anymore *** I'm sick of writing about you And I know you must be Tired of hearing your name all over These bitter breakup songs If the words ever hurt you I'm truly sorry The song remains even though the feeling's gone *** But maybe someday I'll be famous And you'll be driving Listening to the college radio station where you live And maybe this song will be playing I hope you like it My catchy way of saying I'm over it *** That I've thought it through And I think it's true That I ... I don't hate you anymore *** *** So here's to the new competition I hope you meant it When you said that married life Is the best time that you've ever had And these coffee-stained songs that I've written On paper napkins Are finally where they belong ... in the trash See, I've thought it through And, I think it's true Oh, I've thought it through And, I think it's true Yes, I've thought it through And, I think it's true That I ... I don't hate you anymore *** That I ... I don't hate you anymore
