...
Didn't you know?
Don't you know how I felt about you?
I believed we were meant to be
That what we had was true

I guess I was wrong
I guess you don't know me
And I guess I don't know you
So I guess this wasn't meant to be

Maybe I was too busy dreaming
For this to get better
That I forgot that we weren't compatible
That I would never work, not ever

As I chase each and every memory
I remember the pain
And all those times
All those times
Where you drove me insane

I wish I would've known better
That people like you never last
That I should let you go while I can
And leave you in my past

So here I am
Letting go my most precious person
I'm not sure why it had to be this way
Why it had to bring us both this low

If only I could make things work
If I could only make you smile like you used to back then
Then we wouldn't have to play this game
This game of pretend
