lyrics

you said I shouldn’t think of myself that way
I think you shouldn’t take love and walk away
now I can’t go to the grocery store
without seeing the girl you want to be better for
oh well

I didn’t come here for you
but I would have stayed
if loving me was a bet that you could have made
but there’s something about being too close
that makes it easier to just let it go
oh well, oh well, oh well

I said your name was every third word that came out of my mouth for almost three years
told I loved you for the first time the last time I saw you
said I loved you too hard, no I just didn’t do it for you

now I can’t go to the grocery store
without seeing the girl you want to be better for
oh well, oh well

maybe I never felt like I had you
because you never gave me a reason to trust that I did
what a shame, I’m always losing your games

you said it’s fine if my friends all hate you
said you don’t mind if I move back to brooklyn
maybe you’d be all right if you never see me again
but I’m not fine, you held me as I cried

and now I can’t go to the grocery store
without seeing the girl you want to be better for

what a shame, I’m always losing your games
oh well, oh well, oh well
