Don't Say Me

You remember that game, our senior year?

Travel back with me Joe

I know you know that final game

Ripped from a sitcom with me by the pep band

Shaking a pom, pom, pom, pom, pom

You remember that game, the championship?

College scouts in the gym

They're watching you, we're down by three

God it got quiet with you at the buzzer

Shooting to tie it, to tie it, to tie it

I knew you could have made it with your eyes closed

And I saw the stars align

The cheerleader's hero boyfriend

Standing at the three point line

The shot, the game, college, pro

It all came down to this

And in my head I'm praying

Make him miss, make him miss

Make him miss, make him miss

The shot that would've changed your life forever

Instead changed things in me

Sure it took some years to see it

But it came eventually

I can't be a sideline wife

Can't be your biggest fan

There's never any time for me

Which is why I ran, why I ran

Why I ran, why I ran

So tell me, Joe

How'd you find me here?

Was my kitchen table post it note unclear?

It's over, Joe

I took the cat

All the rest is yours if you let me disappear

I'm through cheering for you, baby

That skirt don't fit me anymore

I don't love you now

Like I loved you before

I begged you to tell me what your dreams were

Maybe yours would mesh with mine

But you're still stuck in high school

Standing at the three point line

When you see yourself at thirty, forty

Where do you wanna be?

Tell me what you want, Joe

Don't say me, don't say me

Don't say me, don't say me

Before our time runs out

Before we're stuck with this

I'm taking my own shot

And I won't miss
