Verse 1
We weren’t meant to start at all
I stared too long at pictures on the wall
They used to make me smile with ease
Now they don't mean a thing to me
Pre-Chorus
I’m bad at goodbyes, I know
Replay our first “hello” too slow
Laughing like I lost my mind
Crying with a crooked smile
Chorus
We shouldn’t have met at all
Should’ve walked when all we did was stall
If I never knew your name
Wouldn’t hurt to hear it now
We shouldn’t have tried to love
Should’ve left when we gave just enough
If we let go while hearts still burned
We’d have fire, not scars in return
Verse 2
I don’t even know how to live
Miss you more than I can admit
Sit in cafés we used to love
Waiting like you might show up
Pre-Chorus
This ache won't let me be
Feels like you still breathe in me
If this is how we end
Let me pretend, just one last bend
Chorus
We shouldn’t have met at all
Should’ve walked when all we did was stall
If I never knew your name
Wouldn’t hurt to hear it now
We shouldn’t have tried to love
Should’ve left when we gave just enough
If we let go while hearts still burned
We’d have fire, not scars in return
Bridge
I’m sorry — I truly am
I still love you — more than I planned
If “goodbye” was a mistake
I’d wish this was all a dream I could fake
Final Chorus
We shouldn’t have met at all
Should’ve run when we started to fall
If I never touched your hand
Wouldn’t miss you like I can’t
We shouldn’t have tried to love
Should’ve let the ending be enough
But I still love you, still call your name
Even if you don’t feel the same
