[Verse 1]
Under the shade
We found something that we could not replace
But when the light was shed, it seemed to fade
Buried underneath the surface
Said the time we spent was worthless
Now I'm pissed as—oh, get out
[Pre-Chorus]
One year, two months
Blindsided by your lust
Made me feel like
The first time I was in love
But you got up and left for the Summer
When you came back, it wasn't the same
It felt different under the covers
Now our story's living in vain
[Chorus]
I still got that feeling when you're leaving
I might never see you again
Lost all meaning, fell between
Yeah, we were better off as friends
Still got that feeling when you're leaving
I might never see you again
I know that we were better off as friends
[Verse 2]
I know it's too late
You walked out the door
Only had two drinks
Now we're going to war
[Pre-Chorus]
But you got up and left for the Summer
When you came back, it wasn't the same
I think our palette's losing its color
And baby, ain't that such a shame?
[Chorus]
I still got that feeling when you're leaving
I might never see you again
Lost all meaning, fell between
Yeah, we were better off as friends
Still got that feeling when you're leaving
I might never see you again
I know that we were better off as friends
(As friends)
[Bridge]
(One year, two months)
(One year, too much)
One year, two months
Blindsided by your lust
One year, too much
Now I'm just giving up
One year, two months
Blindsided by your lust
One year, too much
Now I'm just giving up, up
[Chorus]
I still got that feeling when you're leaving
I might never see you again
Lost all meaning, fell between
Yeah, we were better off as friends
Still got that feeling when you're leaving
I might never see you again
I know that we were better off as friends
[Outro]
One year, two months
Blindsided by your lust
Made me feel like
The first time I was in love
But you got up and left for the Summer
When you came back, it wasn't the same
It felt different under the covers, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
