I used to think that love just wasn't for me
But you said you'd prove me wrong if I just wait and see
So you asked me out for coffee on a Friday night
And I don't even like coffee, but it just felt right
Ooh, I never saw this coming
Ooh
Yesterday, we were a we
But, yesterday you said you didn't need me
And that was the day that you gave it all up
Just yesterday, I thought we might be in love
We used to go walking in the evening just before it got dark
It was strange in such a short time how you came to hold my heart
And it scares me now looking back on how fast I fell
Back then it was exciting with your hand that I held
Ooh, I never saw this coming
Ooh, I should've took off running
Cause, yesterday, we were a we
But, yesterday you said you didn't need me
And that was the day that you gave it all up
Just yesterday, I thought we might be in love
You told me you were here for good
You said stop looking over your shoulder
There's no one there and I will protect you
So I let my guard down faster than I should
Thought I'd be fine, and I was when you were mine
But, yesterday, we were a we
But, yesterday you said you didn't need me
And that was the day that you gave it all up
Just yesterday, I thought we might be in love
Yesterday, we were a we
But sometime in this past week you stopped caring about me
So out with the old, and in with the new
At least that's what you told me you needed to do
I guess somewhere in our last few days you changed
Made a list of your priorities, sat down and rearranged
And I didn't make the cut, though I did all I could
I guess I let my guard down faster than I should

I Care More

There's a place in my heart where you live
Wrapped up in boxes hoping I would forget
But I didn't, I didn't
It didn't work
You're dragging me down, pulling me under
We're in a storm, I'm the lightning, you're the thunder
I can't make you go away, can't get you out of my brain
Tonight
I care more for you than you do for me
That's just how it's always gonna be
You don't realize, you don't even notice
You're taking advantage of my heart
And that might be fine, but not for me
For you, I'm always there whenever you need me
So when I'm crying in my room, why aren't you there?
You didn't, no you didn't think about
Anyone but you
I care more for you than you do for me
That's just how it's always gonna be
You don't realize, you don't even notice
You're taking advantage of my heart
And that might be fine, but not for me
Somehow, I thought we'd make it out of here
But you're too busy looking for buried treasure
And now, you're mad when I'm not there
Well, honey, I'm sorry but life ain't fair
And now you'll have to learn to live without me
I care more for you than you do for me
That's just how it's always gonna be
You don't realize, you don't even notice
You're taking advantage of my heart
And that might be fine, but not for me
You're taking advantage of my heart
So I'm out

Bet On Us

I should've seen this coming, you were just like the rest
There when you had no one else to request
But then you met them and had no use for me
So you just left, ain't no need for goodbyes
I was nobody
We both knew the truth of how love isn't free
But I really thought that you wouldn't need to leave
And I wrong, I was wrong
Everything else was different this time
But you were just waiting for a chance to move on
I saw so much for us, but you didn't care
I would've bet on us, and lost
There was a time when you'd call me first
And it wasn't that long ago
Now you call her as you put me to rest
In a grave with your name on the side just for us
Did you ever care?
We both knew the truth of how love isn't free
But I really thought that you wouldn't need to leave
And I wrong, I was wrong
Everything else was different this time
But you were just waiting for a chance to move on
I saw so much for us, but you didn't care
I would've bet on us, and lost
You said I was your best friend and you were so glad
But were you just glad to be gone?
Lately that's how things have worked out for me
But we've been through the same things
Never dreamed you'd be one of them
Maybe it's best you moved on
We both knew the truth of how love isn't free
But I really thought that you wouldn't need to leave
And I wrong, I was wrong
I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong
Everything else was different this time
But you were just waiting for a chance to move on
I saw so much for us, but you didn't care
I would've bet on us
I would've bet on us

Swoon

We both know that this ain't going anywhere
I know what you are, you know who I am
I'm a good girl, I play by the rules, while you pretend
I know that you lie, so there's nothing to hide
So why are you trying so hard when it's a hopeless cause?
You smile like that, I think I was supposed to swoon
Well you look surprised at what you see in my eyes
Well no matter what you do or say, I'm not giving you the time of day
I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay
I first thought there might have been something there
But people do talk, and honey, your list ain't bare
I want something more, something you can't give to me
Something meaningful, do you even know the word?
So stop trying so hard it's a hopeless cause
You smile like that, I think I was supposed to swoon
Well you look surprised at what you see in my eyes
Well no matter what you do or say, I'm not giving you the time of day
I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay
Look me in the eyes, and tell me you mean it
Look me in the eyes, and say it's for real
Look me in the eyes, and tell me you mean it
You can't do it, you can't do it
You smile like that, I think I was supposed to swoon (my bad)
Well you look surprised at what you see in my eyes
Well no matter what you do or say, I'm not giving you the time of day
I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay
Oh, I once wanted something like that, but it's not okay

You Are Mine

Well, see, I hated you for a long time
But one day, you were different
You let your hair fall into your eyes
And I tried to look away but I couldn't
And then you said my name for the first time
How suddenly everything can change
All I know is I had fallen to the ground
And then your hand was out, you smiled, and I fell again
Well, you do that sort of smile with your lips quirked to the side
And, all I've got are freckles, curly hair, and my pride
But, you seem to find that things are okay when I'm around
And, your eyes are like a storm while I sit on a cloud
And, I can't believe that I am yours and you are mine
Sometimes your temper gets the best of you
And I always have to have the last word
But then you kiss me and I fall apart
You say I'm the only one who's ever touched your heart
Well, you do that sort of smile with your lips quirked to the side
And, all I've got are freckles, curly hair, and my pride
But, you seem to find that things are okay when I'm around
And, your eyes are like a storm while I sit on a cloud
And, I can't believe that I am yours and you are mine
I can't believe that you are mine, you are mine
You and I come from different sides of town
And your parents hate my name and how I sound
So you kindly tell them just to shut up
Because to you, I am just enough
We're just enough
Well, you do that sort of smile with your lips quirked to the side
And, all I've got are freckles, curly hair, and my pride
But, you seem to find that things are okay when I'm around
And, your eyes are like a storm while I sit on a cloud
And, I can't believe that I am yours and you are mine
I can't believe that you are mine, you are mine
You are mine
