Lyrics: Doc said I got twelve hours I called you without a second thought Plane ride within the hour As she pictures life without a son Oh, oh I know
One hour visitation She beats me in chess another round Don't matter what we're sayin' I'm just glad you made it into town Oh, oh
Save me now I'm facing All my fears of the unknown I've been shaking in my bones Lately I've been praying To a god I've never known I can't do this on my own
So try not to cry I won't say goodbye just yet So hold onto my hand Oh I'll be fine for tonight With you by my side Oh my, don't you know you're my lifeline
I know I'm not good at calling Dad said I've fallen off the grid We hardly say I love you 'Cause your parent's parents never did Oh, oh
Save me now I'm facing All my fears of the unknown I've been shaking in my bones Lately I've been praying To a god I've never known I can't do this on my own
So try not to cry I won't say goodbye just yet So hold onto my hand Oh I'll be fine for tonight With you by my side Oh my, don't you know you're my lifeline
Let go 'cause I won't waste another minute This distance, we're drifting from difference of opinion I can't be mad I'm not what you planned for I hope you would know that no one else could ever
Save me I've been praying To a god I've never known I can't do this on my own
Try not to cry
I won't say goodbye just yet So hold onto my hand Oh I'll be fine for tonight With you by my side Oh don't you know you're my lifeline

Lyrics: Where did it all go wrong? Innocence stolen way too young This blood on my hands I don’t understand Where did it all go wrong?
Out on my own at 17 No one to tell me who to be I’m going insane; i’m wasting away I found a new low at 23
I don’t recognize the face in the mirror In the mirror There’s nowhere to hide From the face in the mirror In the mirror
The light in my eyes I can’t seem to find
I don’t recognize the face in the mirror The face in the mirror isn’t mine The face in the mirror isn’t mine
I don’t know when i last called my mom I can’t let her know what i’ve become It’s better to lie; don’t tell her you’re high I wish i could talk to my mom Oooh
I don’t recognize the face in the mirror In the mirror There’s nowhere to hide From the face in the mirror In the mirror
The light in my eyes I can’t seem to find
I don’t recognize the face in the mirror The face in the mirror isn’t mine The face in the mirror isn’t mine
Won’t somebody Won’t somebody Won’t somebody help me?
Won’t somebody Won’t somebody Won’t somebody help me?
Won’t somebody Won’t somebody Won’t somebody help me?
I don’t recognize the face in the mirror In the mirror There’s nowhere to hide From the face in the mirror In the mirror
The light in my eyes I lost with my mind
I don’t recognize the face in the mirror The face in the mirror isn’t mine The face in the mirror isn’t mine
Lyrics: I know you can’t see the light right now They buried you alive with no way out You’re screaming under water but nobody hears a sound You taught yourself to swim so you don’t drown Just in case nobody told you this today
Look how Look how Look how far you’ve come You’ve been running Running Running for too long
What goes up comes back down Just to circle back around
I know you’re not nearly done When you can’t seem to get back up Just look how look how look how far you’ve come
I wish i could hold my younger self I’d say cry a little longer if it helps Cause you can’t choose the place you’re born Your hair your name your baby clothes But getting here you did that your own Just in case nobody told you this today
Look how, look how, look how far you’ve come You’ve been running, running, running for too long
What goes up comes back down Just to circle back around
I know you’re not nearly done When you can’t seem to get back up Just look how look how look how far you’ve come
Ohh and in case that you forget The last time you were here you swore that it would never end Ohh and darling catch your breath The world is gonna need your love so do the best you can Oh i promise someday it’ll all make sense
Look how, look how, look how far you’ve come You’ve been running, running, running for too long
What goes up comes back down Just to circle back around
I know you’re not nearly done When you can’t seem to get back up Just look how look how look how far you’ve come
Lyrics: Burning pancakes while we’re dancing in the kitchen Singing to our favorite songs Now i’m standing in the ash and broken dishes Wondering where it all went wrong
Now there’s nothing left of you and me It was heartbreak to the 3rd degree We had it good and it was good until it wasn’t
Now the sirens they sound All of the walls are falling down There’s no, nowhere to run Darling we’ll never make it out we’re
Too close to the sun We let it burn and called it love There’s smoke filling our lungs Oh would you look what we’ve become You asked for a light Now we started a wildfire ooh We started a wildfire now
We were reckless we were young and we were stupid Got too high to see the warning signs Playing innocent we knew what we were doing Two wrongs don’t ever make a right
Don’t, don’t look away Darling there’s nothing left to save Just kiss, kiss me goodbye We’re not gonna make it out alive we’re
Too close to the sun We let it burn and called it love There’s smoke filling our lungs Oh would you look what we’ve become You asked for a light Now we started a wildfire ooh
We started a wildfire now
It’s far too late to save us This flame is way too dangerous Don’t say it’s all okay love It’s too much It’s too much
The smoke is slowly rising Just face it love we’re dying No point in even trying It’s too much
Too close to the sun We let it burn and called it love There’s smoke filling our lungs Oh would you look what we’ve become You asked for a light Now we started a wildfire Ooh We started a wildfire love Oooh Yeah we started a wildfire
Lyrics: Don’t you remember early september Fooling around didn’t know any better Our ship was sinking, we held on as long as we could
I cried on your shoulder Now i don’t know I keep replaying it over and over Wanna go backward, don’t know if i can this time
We made a mess, but we were just kids then Gave it our best, we fell off the deep end I can’t forget the way that you held me dear
So you say you want me again Don’t you remember the hell we were in? I haven’t been the same since you left Half of my heart is still there in your hands So if you pick me back off the ground Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down
How do i know that you actually mean it? You say it’s different; i wanna believe ya Holding out hoping, maybe this time is for real
Might be naive, but maybe we need this Nobody loves like you did
So you say you want me again Don’t you remember the hell we were in? I haven’t been the same since you left Half of my heart is still there in your hands So if you pick me back off the ground Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down
Don’t you tell me that you want me just to walk away now Don’t you tell me that you love me if you don’t know how Don’t you turn your back on me and we can figure it out We’ll figure it out (ohhh)
Don’t you let me down This time around I won’t let you down
Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down
Lyrics: Little Rita lost her home 20 years gone up in smoke standing in the ash of all she knew
Sweets is crying on the phone ‘Cause she’s not quite sure where to go and the firemen can’t save the baby shoes
I know this life isn’t easy (but) you know that I will be right here ya know that love’s all you need dear and someone who can dry your tears ‘cause home is where the heart is and my heart is always near I promise you’ll be fine And in due time well everything will be alright (alright, alright) yeah everything will be alright (alright, alright)
Luke is pulling out his hair ‘Cause sometimes life just isn’t fair mamas boy’s been holding back his tears
Papa can’t help cracking jokes ‘Cause laughter’s how he learned to cope he can’t yet say goodbye to the golden years
I know this life isn’t easy (but) you know that I will be right here ya know that love’s all you need dear and someone who can dry your tears ‘cause home is where the heart is and my heart is always near I promise you’ll be fine And in due time well everything will be alright (alright, alright) yeah everything will be alright (alright, alright)
Brinkly smiles amidst the fire he’s just glad to see your eyes love is all that matters any way I know it’s scary I know it’s sad So kiss your mama and hug your dad Cause no one knows how long they really have
I know this life isn’t easy (but) you know that I will be right here ya know that love’s all you need dear and someone who can dry your tears ‘cause home is where the heart is and my heart is always near I promise you’ll be fine And in due time well everything will be alright (alright, alright) yeah everything will be alright (alright, alright)
Lyrics: Silence speaks louder than I ever could I can’t breathe, I’m suffocating on my words And maybe the story that’s been left unsaid Is gasoline just waiting for the perfect match?
I’m biting my tongue (biting my tongue) Avoiding the words I can’t take back Whatever I’ve done (What I’ve done) I just wanna love and not look back
Forget the promises we can’t keep I’m begging you to set me free I’m biting my tongue (biting my tongue) Can you blame me for that?
You running your mouth Is wearing me down I’m screaming out but you won’t hear a sound Cause tearing you down oh nobody wins I’m tryna be better than I’ve ever been Oh
I’m biting my tongue (biting my tongue) Avoiding the words I can’t take back Whatever I’ve done (What I’ve done) I just wanna love and not look back
Forget the promises we can’t keep I’m begging you to set me free I’m biting my tongue (biting my tongue) Can you blame me for that?
Hope you got all that you wanted But I don’t want revenge I won’t hurt you how you hurt me I want this to end
I’m biting my tongue (biting my tongue) Avoiding the words I can’t take back Whatever I’ve done (What I’ve done) I just wanna love and not look back
Forget the promises we can’t keep I’m begging you to set me free I’m biting my tongue (biting my tongue) Can you blame me for that?
(biting my tongue) (biting my tongue) (biting my tongue)
Forget the promises we can’t keep I’m begging you to set me free I’m biting my tongue (biting my tongue)
Lyrics: Dancing with a cigarette drunk on a sunday morning Standing on the edge of something we’ll regret Making a mess of the bed we made Playing with fire we already tamed Romeo and Juliette should’ve known better
I caught your eyes under the lights And now i’m spinning
I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes I cry every time our song comes on It breaks my heart, dance in the dark So you don’t see me fall apart I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes Dancing with tears in my eyes
Everybody’s asking if i’m happy for you Nothing to regret we went our separate ways It’s eating me alive to see you doing better Maybe more wine will help me forget you Seeing you tonight i’m right back where we met
I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes I cry every time our song comes on It breaks my heart, dance in the dark So you don’t see me fall apart I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes Dancing with tears in my eyes
Dancing with tears in my eyes Dancing with tears in my eyes Ohhh
I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes I cry every time our song comes on It breaks my heart, dance in the dark So you don’t see me fall apart I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes Dancing with tears in my eyes
Lyrics: Time stopped movin’ the minute I saw ya You took my Taylor guitar in the city of stars And you made it your own Late night, oh how i’m missin’ those brown eyes Funny i’d rather be fighting with you than alone in the city we knew
Four years gone by in the blink of an eye We were young till we weren’t it was fun till it hurt Now i’m terrified that i’ll never find love like yours
If i would’ve known those were the golden years I would’ve held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears If i would’ve known, those were the golden years I would’ve never left you alone when you needed me most my dear Cause those were the golden years Those were the golden years
I left you under the cherry tree that June Back at the place where i told you that i loved you way too soon lately , i stare at the pictures you gave me I can’t help wondering if you ever stare back at them too
If i would’ve known those were the golden years I would’ve held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears If i would’ve known, those were the golden years I would’ve never left you alone when you needed me most my dear Cause those were the golden years Those were the golden years
So dance with me under the cherry tree darling We’ll act like we’re still young and free Cause i’m still in love with the story of us We were young but our love it was real
If i would’ve known those were the golden years I would’ve held you longer that night when you kissed me goodbye through your tears If i would’ve known, those were the golden years I would’ve never left you alone when you needed me most my dear Cause those were the golden years Those were the golden years Those were the golden years Those were the golden years
Lyrics: Merry go round, we’ve been here before Your carousel hell got me chained to the floor I’ve been falling for your sweet seduction Can’t believe you’re fooling me again
I’ve been running for my life I end up at the starting line I’ve been wasting all my youth on you Love sick spinning round and round I’m a broken record wearing out All this time i wasted chasing you
Girl you got me going in circles
Sweet as a peach You’re soft to the touch You’re making me bleed while calling it love
Hold me close but keep me at a distance
I’ve been running for my life I end up at the starting line I’ve been wasting all my youth on you Love sick spinning round and round I’m a broken record; wearing out All this time i wasted chasing you
Girl you got me going in circles
Where do I go from here? Where do I go from here? Where do I go from here?
I’ve been running for my life I end up at the starting line I’ve been wasting all my youth on you Love sick spinning round and round I’m a broken record; wearing out All this time i wasted chasing you
Lyrics: Dancing with a cigarette drunk on a sunday morning Standing on the edge of something we’ll regret Making a mess of the bed we made Playing with fire we already tamed Romeo and Juliette should’ve known better
I caught your eyes under the lights And now i’m spinning
I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes I cry every time our song comes on It breaks my heart, dance in the dark So you don’t see me fall apart I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes Dancing with tears in my eyes

Dancing with tears in my eyes Dancing with tears in my eyes Ohhh
I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes I cry every time our song comes on It breaks my heart, dance in the dark So you don’t see me fall apart I lied when i said i’m fine At the disco dancing with tears in my eyes Dancing with tears in my eyes

Darling how I missed you Two years not even friends And I'm trying not to kiss you 'Cause we've seen how this can end
And my therapist would kill me If she knew that I was here But no one knows me like you know me dear And no one holds me how you hold me dear
I'm back in your arms But everything's changed Now we've been to hell and back again My biggest regret was walking away I'm not gonna make the same mistake
I know you're afraid we'll end up the same And the truth is we might But if we do this thing right Maybe this time it'll be different Maybe this time it'll be different Different
Now I'm late to catch a red eye I didn't think we'd end up here Yeah I'm already on cloud nine Don't want to head back down the stairs
And I didn't think you'd kiss me But I'm too in love to care So kiss me slow before I go my dear
I'm back in your arms But everything's changed Now we've been to hell and back again My biggest regret was walking away I'm not gonna make the same mistake
I know you're afraid we'll end up the same And the truth is we might But if we do this thing right Maybe this time it'll be different Maybe this time it'll be different Different
Make me yours and I'm not leaving I know for sure you're all I needed I can't believe I didn't see it We took our time with space we needed
I'm back in your arms But everything's changed Now we've been to hell and back again My biggest regret was walking away I'm not gonna make the same mistake
I know you're afraid we'll end up the same And the truth is we might But if we do this thing right Maybe this time it'll be different Maybe this time it'll be different Different
Lyrics: I thought about what I would say But I'm two years too late I can't imagine how you're doing these days
Sure it wasn't perfect back then I'll be first to admit But it was better than being strangers again
I'm drunk too late talkin' to the moon Writing songs I can't sing to you 'Cause
Ever since that day The things I didn't say They haunt me Oh
And I know that I'm to blame So go ahead and blame it on me I know that I'm too late but I'll say it anyway I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm sorry Though it's far too late
And it was me it wasn't you It's cliche but it's true I wasn't thinkin' how I usually do
And is your momma doing well? Or does she hate me still? Bet it was hard to watch me put you through hell
I'm drunk too late talkin' to the moon Writing songs I can't sing to you 'Cause
Ever since that day The things I didn't say They haunt me Oh
I know that I'm to blame So go ahead and blame it on me Maybe it's too late but I'll say it anyway I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm sorry Though it's far too late
And if you ever hear this I hope you know that I'm not proud of who I've been And if I see you again I hope you know that I wish you nothing but the best And my biggest regret
Ever since that day The things I didn't say They haunt me Oh
I know that I'm to blame So go ahead and blame it on me And maybe it's too late but I'll say it anyway I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm sorry Oh, I'm sorry

Lyrics: She said he said she said She said he said she said
I saw you in the back of the room Takin’ shots with your friends again You talk shit like you always do I guess high school never ends
You sure got a lot to say When you’re talking on my name You sure got a lot to say But did you tell them everything?
Oh, and when you dance with the devil The devil’s gonna dance with you Oh and when you play with fire The flame’s gonna burn you too
Starting rumors It’s nothing new yeah We’re on this shit again She said he said she said Just can’t get over I let you go yeah Let’s put this shit to bed She said he said she said
She said he said she said She said he said she said She said he said she said She said he said she said
Night ends and you call me again Said you didn’t mean what you said But drunk talks and sober thoughts So don’t act so innocent
I can’t keep playing games When your rules are always changing, so If you’re saying sorry You can save it
Oh, and when you dance with the devil The devil’s gonna dance with you Oh and when you play with fire The flames gonna burn you too
Starting rumors It’s nothing new yeah We’re on this shit again She said he said she said Just can’t get over I let you go yeah Let’s put this shit to bed She said he said she said
She said he said she said She said he said she said She said he said she said She said he said she said
Burn your bridge Talk your shit I’ve been growin’ thicker skin Forgiveness Ask again Patience only runs so thin
Starting rumors It’s nothing new yeah We’re on this shit again She said he said she said Just can’t get over I let you go yeah Let’s put this shit to bed She said he said she said

Lyrics: I never wrote the letter that I swore I’d send I never got to tell you what I really meant I’m passing Pasadena, do you still live in LA? ‘Cause I can’t help but think of all the things that I would say
If I showed up at your doorstep Would you turn me away? Or would you care to see a stranger whose eyes are still the same? Take me or leave me I’m going home But I’d rather be going your way so Would you love me now? Take me back to when we were young again darling Would you love me now? After everything would you let me in and love me now?
We made ourselves a promise we would stay in touch So if we’re being honest that’s on both of us And I’ve still got the Converse that I wore the day we met I’m running out of reasons not to do it all again so
If I showed up at your doorstep Would you turn me away? Or would you care to see a stranger Whose eyes are still the same? Take me or leave me I’m going home But I’d rather be going your way so Would you love me now? Take me back to when we were young again darling Would you love me now? After everything would you let me in and love me now?
You know I’d fly away with you if you asked me to So what do you say, for one more day?
If I showed up at your doorstep Would you turn me away? Oh Or would you care to see a stranger whose eyes are still the same? Take me or leave me I’m going home But I’d rather be going your way so Would you love me now? Take me back to when we were young again darling Would you love me now? After everything would you let me in and love me now?
Would you love me Would you love me Would you love me now? Would you love me Would you love me Would you love me now?

Lyrics: i’m wearing the robe the same ones we left on the hotel floor one year ago do not disturb hanging on the door
how the hell we end up where we did don’t you think it’s messed up it all went to shit
it’s kinda depressing being here alone i miss you so i pick up the phone
i order room service for one champagne mini bar bottles are done i’ve got a balcony room with a view velvet curtains are closed, singing sad songs in a hotel room oh where i once held you, i’m singing sad songs in a hotel room
neighbors are knocking they just wanna sleep it’s 3am while my guitar gently weeps i flip through these old magazines dream destinations we promised we see
how the hell we end up where we did in one year it all went to shit

Lyrics: I'm not surprised you didn't call When I almost died you didn't care at all Mamma said you can't be mad at who you wish somebody was I'm not surprised you didn't call
I guess I got used to it You'd kiss me 'til I forget You're covering up all your sins I blame it on us being kids
I guess you had me convinced It's my mind that's playing tricks After all that you did I won't admit it's you I miss
I guess I got used to it
I guess I got, I guess I got Used to it
You told our friends you hope it hurts You left me for him with one eye over your shoulder Stab me in the back and I'm the one who's saying sorry again You told our friends you're glad it hurts
I guess I got used to it You'd kiss me 'til I forget You're covering up all your sins I blame it on us being kids
I guess you had me convinced It's my mind that's playing tricks After all that you did I won't admit it's you I miss
I guess I got used to it I guess I got, I guess I got Used to it
Tommy asked why I'm not mad But you're the only love I've had And I won't say what I can't take back No
You did things I can't forgive But mercy don't always make sense And I'm the one who let you in again I can't be mad I let you treat me like that
I guess I got used to it
I guess I got used to it You'd kiss me 'til I forget You're covering up all your sins I blame it on us being kids
I guess you had me convinced It's my mind that's playing tricks After all that you did I won't admit it's you I miss
I guess I got used to it I guess I got, I guess I got Used to it

Lyrics: i’m wearing the robe the same ones we left on the hotel floor one year ago do not disturb hanging on the door
how the hell we end up where we did don’t you think it’s messed up it all went to shit
it’s kinda depressing being here alone i miss you so i pick up the phone
i order room service for one champagne mini bar bottles are done i’ve got a balcony room with a view velvet curtains are closed, singing sad songs in a hotel room oh where i once held you, i’m singing sad songs in a hotel room
neighbors are knocking they just wanna sleep it’s 3am while my guitar gently weeps i flip through these old magazines dream destinations we promised we see
how the hell we end up where we did in one year it all went to shit
i order room service for one champagne mini bar bottles are done i’ve got a balcony room with a view velvet curtains are closed, singing sad songs in a hotel room oh where i once held you, i’m singing sad songs in a hotel room
we checked in together i never checked out guess it’s heartbreak hotel cause just look at us now
i order room service for one champagne mini bar bottles are done i’ve got a balcony room with a view velvet curtains are closed, singing sad songs in a hotel room oh where i once held you, i’m singing sad songs in a hotel room
#JoshuaBassett #SadSongsInAHotelRoomJoshua Bassett - LA (Official Audio)Joshua Bassett2022-09-23 | Listen to "LA" from 'Sad Songs In A Hotel Room' here: joshuatbassett.lnk.to/ssiahr
Lyrics: I just gotta get out of LA I've been thinking of running away I just got to get out of this town Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been making a run for my life I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight Guess I've run out of things I could say I just gotta get I just gotta get out of LA
When I was young My father told me not to cry in front of my mom Said it's time to grow up And now that I'm older I couldn't tell you the last time I cried if I want No time not to be on
So I put on a show Slap on a smile Don't let 'em know you're not doing all too fine I'll be fine
I just gotta get out of LA I've been thinking of running away I just got to get out of this town Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been making a run for my life I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight Guess I've run out of things I could say I just gotta get I just gotta get out of LA
Everyone comes here But nobody leaves Yeah we're all only actors No one's actually happy It's all who do you know and when did you know them Now where you're from but where are you going How can you help me get to where I need
When everything is going right, they're on your side But just as your luck runs out they're harder to find
I just gotta get out of LA I've been thinking of running away I just got to get out of this town Lately everyone's bringing me down
I've been making a run for my life I'm not sure if I'll make it tonight Guess I've run out of things I could say I just gotta get I just gotta get out of LA
I just gotta get out of LA I just gotta get out of LA I just gotta get I just gotta get

Lyrics: Get your head out the ground Take a step back Get a good look around
I know I'll find my way out But just 'cause it gets better Don't make it better right now
Are all of my tears going to turn into something Is all of this pain just for nothing Just for nothing
Well maybe someday it'll all fade away And the weight of the world won't be mine And maybe I'll see at the end of the day Who I am made it all worth the while And these scars will be stories I tell All in due time
All the ways that I've changed I'm still cleaning up all the mess that I made The fires I'm putting out Just 'cause it's over don't mean I'm over it now
Third-degree burns yeah it hurts while its healing I'm still trying to get back the feeling
Well maybe someday it'll all fade away And the weight of the world won't be mine And maybe I'll see at the end of the day Who I am made it all worth the while And these scars will be stories I tell All in due time All in due time
Oh, all in due time

Lyrics:
She asks for a light As our secrets spill on the window sill We’re buying more time While we kill ourselves as we both inhale Making believe there’s a future Is it naive to think we could work The second it's out then I lose her We’re already here so one more won’t hurt It won’t hurt
But all that we are Is all that we’ll ever be Cause he’s the one waiting at home She holds my guitar As I pluck out a melody There’s only so far we can go Next to you but I’ll never be close So take your time While you’re mine And smoke slow
Breaking away For the hell of it Started innocent Telling you things That I've never said Hope I don’t regret this Making believe that we’re clueless One little spark that we won’t put out Making a million excuses Cause isn’t it fun just for now
But all that we are Is all that we’ll ever be Cause he’s the one waiting at home She holds my guitar As I pluck out a melody There’s only so far we can go Next to you but I’ll never be close So take your time While you’re mine And smoke slow
Addicted to illusions of a love that never was And never will be any way The nicotine don’t taste the same If I’m not with you savoring every breath we take Play with fire, take me higher
But all that we are Is all that we’ll ever be Cause he’s the one waiting at home She holds my guitar As I pluck out a melody There’s only so far we can go Next to you but I’ll never be close So take your time While you’re mine And smoke slow

Lyrics: I guess I’m not as over you as I thought that I was I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk I guess I’m not as over you as I thought
I've spent a lot of nights Memorizing lines Thinking bout what I might say
And after all this time I’m still fight or flight I can’t help but run away
I know we’re getting older We’re moving on and over But everywhere I go I see your face
I guess I’m not as over you as I thought that I was I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk I guess I’m not as over you as I thought And I thought I was Yeah I thought I was
She wore your yellow dress Same as when we met I couldn’t believe my eyes
Even when I left I was still a wreck Tryna find the reason why
I'm scared to death to see you But I wanted it to be you Worst of all I don’t even know why
I guess I’m not as over you as I thought that I was I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk I guess I’m not as over you as I thought And I thought I was And I thought I was
The truth is no one’s like you And a heart cannot be lied to A lookalike could never take your place
I guess I’m not as over you as I thought that I was I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk I guess I’m not as over you as I thought
No I guess I’m not as over you as I thought No I guess I’m not as over you as I thought

Lyrics: I don't know what I did to deserve all this I don't wanna be rude or on the defensive But I’ve been going through it too
I know you feel used I know you’ve been hurt Anything I did to make you feel worse I’d take it all back if I could
Nothing I say will ease the pain Why must I hurt for you to feel okay?
You don’t get to take all of me (Set me free) I don't need your apology (Let me be)
I don't recognize you not anymore You’re not the love that I fell for
You don’t get to take all of me (Set me free)
I’ve been running away, I’ve been facing my fears Tell my momma I'm okay, while I’m holding back tears It’s been a fucking year
I’ve been doing my time, I’ve been working on me Wasn’t sure I’d survive, never felt so weak And nothing really seemed to help it
Nothing I say will ease the pain Why do I have to hurt for you feel okay?
You don’t get to take all of me (Set me free) I don't need your apology (Let me be)
I don't recognize you not anymore You’re not the love that I fell for
You don’t get to take all of me (Set me free)
I hope you know that I still care about you dearly But I gotta lock the door and throw away the key I hope you know that I still care about you darling I won’t ever let you hurt me how you hurt me Again Ever again
You don’t get to take all of me (Set me free) I don't need your apology (Let me be)
I don't recognize you not anymore You’re not the love that I fell for
