Lyrics

You said “I’d marry you today if you let me”
I said “why don’t we make it past 21?”
Back when we had big ambitions
Back when fleeting highs were fun
Now I stand and stare like stranger
Who’s strung on a first time drug
And I pass you in the hallway and pretend I’m not in love
And I pretend that I don’t know your hand on my chest
Sweet nothings as you're kissing all down my neck
And those girls with their guitars are really just friends
Oh I pretend now and I pretended then
Cause I don’t wanna make you feel like me
Drowning in your careless misery
Cause if we were gonna talk
We would’ve by now
And if you were gonna love me
We would’ve figured it out
We would’ve by now
We would’ve by now
You would’ve showed up head hung with roses
Would’ve called it a big mistake
And we’d paint this house with diamond so that it could never break
But I know where you’ve been on your loneliest nights
Driving back to her place with your hand on her thigh
And you hold her like a secret but parade her in sight
I keep my love to myself or I least I still try
Cause I don’t wanna make you feel like me
Drowning in your carless misery
Cause if we were gonna talk
We would’ve by now
And if you were gonna love me
We would’ve figured it out
We would’ve by now
We would’ve by now
And if you were gonna call
Like you do in my dreams
Show up there on my street
If you were gonna tell me
You needed to me to breathe
Well you would’ve
You would’ve
And if I was gonna hate you
Let it burn up in flames
Throw out dirt on your name
If I knew how to unlove
How to swallow this down
I would’ve by now
