Took me over to your
house to meet your family
Introduced me to them sayin'
that you'd marry me
Then you'd look me in the eye
and say, "It's just a joke"
Then you'd kiss me and
I'd smile, did you even know?
When you'd say that kinda t
hing, I'd be excited
Got me hopin' maybe
one day you would mean it
Always thought I'd only
make a fool of someone else
Now you've only gone and
made me make one of myself
I guess that flowers aren't
just used for big apologies
I guess I should've been
more conscious how you spoke to me
'Cause when we'd fight,
you give me space and not communicate
And for a while,
I thought that's what
I should appreciate
Maybe I was holdin'
on to what I thought you were
But when you think too
hard, eventually, it starts to hurt
The version of you in
my head now I know wasn't true
Young people fall for the
wrong people,
guess my one was you
I was gettin' any
flight so we could
make it work
You'd ignore me,
coulda told me you were seein' her
Kinda hate myself for
justifyin' your mistakes
Took a minute, but
I had to learn the hard way
Who are you to tell me
I can't be heartbroken?
Babe, you had the chance,
the door for you was open
If it's what you need to tell
yourself to sleep at night
Pretend I haven't found a man
who finally treats me right
I guess that flowers aren't just
used for big apologies
I guess I should've been
more conscious how you
spoke to me
'Cause when we'd fight,
you give me space and not communicate
And for a while,
I thought that's what
I should appreciate
Maybe I was holdin'
on to what I thought you were
But when you think too hard, eventually, it starts to hurt
The version of you in my head
now I know wasn't true
Young people fall for the wrong
people, guess my one was you
If there's anything I've learned,
it's you should watch yourself
If it's hurting you, then leave and
go and get some help
