Change

I was quiet and dignified
the first day i saw you
didn't know what i was in for
thought i knew everything

taken in by your voice like honey
with eyes that sang me a lullaby
you already knew all the right moves
to make a girl lose sight of herself

i remember all the words you said
i can't give up a girl like you
you'll find you can, you already did
breaking into my heart to break out free

i remember all the things you did
hugged me a little too long
kissed me a little too much
told me too many things you didn't mean

i always asked God for victory
that this battle wouldn't be lost
because i couldn't read you well
and i didn't know how to act

there was never a way to make you see
how much i adored your boyish charms
and all the things you shared with me
they healed me and they broke me apart

i remember all the words you said
i don't need to keep looking
i like you, it's my secret
you're the best i ever had

i remember all the things you did
held me when i cried and i prayed all night
listened to my worry and laughed it away
then started to ignore me without a bit of warning

i guess this is the end then
tried as hard as i could to keep you near
opened my heart to you and cried in shame
because i realized i was too late

it's so embarrassing to fall in love
it's so shameful to be in love
it's so foolish to hold onto love
because love doesn't wait for anyone

i remember all the words you said
i wish you'd told me sooner
we might've had a chance
now it's too late, so say goodbye

i remember all the things you did
sat two chairs away from me
hugged me with half an arm
wouldn't look me in the eye

so i'm saying goodbye
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
