[Verse 1]
All I wanted was some proof, that you cared about others
All I wanted was proof, that you understand sonder
How come your truth, revolves around you?
I had a lot to say, never came out in the right way
What a petty mistake, you were looking at me sideways
Here comes the truth, it's not about you
[Chorus]
I thought by now
We would learn to work together
I thought somehow
We were changing for the better
You went back, back to Arizona
I guess it was nice to know ya
I thought by now
You would understand sonder
[Verse 2]
I coulda called but I didn't, I coulda called on thе ride home
"It's my fault; I admit it," six words that you don't know
I'm nothing like you, I hopе I'm nothing like you
[Pre-Chorus]
Long nights, hard fights
Hold tight, we'll make it through
Starlight, street signs
Alright, it's all for you
Long nights, our nights
Soft like the month of June
[Chorus]
I thought by now
We would learn to work together
I thought somehow
We were changing for the better
You went back, back to Arizona
I guess it was nice to know ya
I thought by now
You would understand sonder
(You would understand sonder)
[Bridge]
All I wanted was proof, that you cared about others
All I wanted was proof, that you understand sonder
All I wanted was proof, that you cared about others
All I wanted was proof, that you understand sonder
I coulda called but I didn't, I coulda called on the ride home
It's my fault; I admit it, six words that you don't know
I'm nothing like you, I hope I'm nothing like you
[Pre-Chorus]
Long nights, hard fights
Hold tight, we'll make it through
Starlight, street signs
Alright, it's all for you
Long nights, hard fights
Soft like the month of June
[Chorus]
I thought by now
We would learn to work together
I thought somehow
We were changing for the better
You ran back, back to Arizona
I guess it was nice to know ya
I thought by now
You would understand sonder
I thought by now (that you cared about others)
I thought by now
That you understand sonder
