[Intro]
Ha ha, woah
Woah
Woah Woah, Woah
[Verse 1]
If it'd been me, I would've called your phone
Told you that I was needy, feelin' all alone
One call, hey but maybe that's crazy, that's just me
If it'd been me, I might've held myself
Told ya that I was busy seeing someone else, the truth
Hey but maybe that's crazy, that's just me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's hard to go a day, without it
[Chorus]
Don't have to say you're sorry, let's just forget that you're a cheat
Don't have to feel bad for me, I won't be losing sleep
But I would've done much better, you messed it up forever
I know, I'd treat you better
Maybe that's just crazy, that's just me
[Verse 2]
If it'd been me, I might've stopped to think
Done the right thing after I had a lot to drink
Gone home, hey but maybe that's crazy, that's just me
If it'd been me I would've pictured you, knowing that'd you'd be her, I would've thought it through
It's not hard
Hey but maybe that's crazy, that's just me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You can't help yourself so don't worry about it
[Chorus]
Don't have to say you're sorry, let's just forget that you're a cheat
Don't have to feel bad for me, I won't be losing sleep
But I would've done much better, you messed it up forever
I know, I'd treat you better
Maybe that's just crazy, that's just me
[Bridge]
Even after all you put me through, wonder why I'm missin' you
Maybe that's crazy, that's just maybe that's crazy, maybe that's crazy, that's just
[Chorus]
Don't have to say you're sorry, let's just forget that you're a cheat
Don't have to feel bad for me, I won't be losing sleep
But I would've done much better, you messed it up forever
I know, I'd treat you better
Maybe that's just crazy, that's just me
Don't have to say you're sorry, let's just forget that you're a cheat
Don't have to feel bad for me, I won't be losing sleep
But I would've done much better, you messed it up forever
I know, I'd treat you better
Maybe that's just crazy, that's just me
