“I’ve never wanted to write the kind of lyrics that forward plot. I wanted them to take us into what cannot be said and what can only be felt.” -Steven Sater


i hesitate each time i say “i love you”

‘cause i wonder if you’ve loved someone else today

i’m paranoid and i wish i could trust you

but it broke me even though you called it a “mistake”

 

and now tonight i see your phone screen lighting up again

why is she calling you “baby” if she’s “just a friend”?

 

you “cry” every time you apologize

but there’s never any tears inside your eyes

you say you’re sorry and you never meant to hurt me

but that’s exactly what you said last time


how did i end up with the worst kind of guy?

‘cause every time you tell me that you’re sorry, it’s a lie

 

you wronged me, yet i’m picking up the pieces

of our love while you find someone new to hurt

i could have left, you gave me valid reasons

so good luck finding a better girl

 

and now tonight i feel the heartbreak creeping up again

but if you love a liar, it was bound to end

 

you “cry” every time you apologize

but there’s never any tears inside your eyes

you say you’re sorry and you never meant to hurt me

but that’s exactly what you said last time


how did i end up with the worst kind of guy?

‘cause every time you tell me that you’re sorry, it’s a lie

 

your crocodile tears as you confirm my worst fears

and i’m supposed to feel bad for you?

your empty promises and your “forgive me” kisses

but you were never being true

 

you “cry” every time you apologize

but there’s never any tears inside your eyes

you say you’re sorry and you never meant to hurt me

but that’s exactly what you said last time


how did i end up with the worst kind of guy?

‘cause every time you tell me that you’re sorry, it’s a lie

 

you’re never honest

i don’t deserve this

you’re never honest

baby, good riddance
