Lyrics:
When you walked out of the room
My heart was like an open wound
You disappeared & left me ruined
You made me think you loved me

It’s not the time that I regret
Not that I wish we’d never met
I only pray I can forget
You made me think you loved me

I was young
I was dumb
I was chasing both the thunder & the lightning

A good thing never lasts too long
A bad thing just goes on & on
I must admit now that yr gone
I make believe you love me

The greatest night I still believe
After decorating Christmas trees
You kissed me hard on Christmas Eve
To make me think you loved me

I was young
I was dumb
I was chasing both the thunder & the lightning

Last night I saw you standing there
You were completely unaware
Did you ever even care
you made me think you loved me?

I look at you & raise a glass
You turn around & then look back
To see the ghosts of lovers past
That you made think you loved them

I was young
I was dumb
I was chasing both the thunder & the lightning
