Lyrics
When I thought I loved you You were all I saw Now I see right through you And my love withdraw Lessons learned to unlearn Speeches on the nose Now my dog has heart worms And the pipes all froze Dont pretend you dont know where Im coming from Youre as jaded as me Just admit theres nothing left of what we hungered for Sorry no destiny We are not meant to be Funny you believing It's all me not you Either way I'm leaving Nothing we can do Dont pretend you dont know where I'm coming from Youre as guilty as me Just admit theres nothing left of what we bargained for Sorry no guarantee We are not meant to be We are not meant to be
