hey, love,
it's kind of crazy what we've been believing
fifteen, young-and-dumb
but who knew
that it wasn't love we were feeling
who knew
that you falling for him was the best thing to ever happen

and i'm glad that i found out early
because you were starting to fucking hate me
that's what you told him,
and that's what he told me
and when you broke my heart
he was so happy he cried

i started off coping awfully well
i called my buddies up cause we'd just come back from downtown
without her
cause she judged our decisions
as a group
and i couldn't bear to fucking listen to you say:

"why the fuck do you do that to yourself? that's not cool. babe, get off your phone. leave your cousin alone. she doesn't want you to go back to jersey, and even if she did, you wouldn't go without me, right?"

you broke my heart with your arm wrapped around his side
and i told you i was fine
cause i swore i was fine
i had girls i could call,
i had my friends in the car
i just laughed and laughed
while you tore me apart

and now it's six months later
and i'm falling asleep
you and him broke up
after a couple of weeks
you're calling me up,
i pick up the phone
i mutter five simple words:
"please just leave me alone."

you're going to your formal with this other guy
but he's the other other guy,
not the one you were into
last time i spoke to you
i hang up the phone
i haven't gone out since june
