[Verse 1]
Compensate for cowardice with hyper masculinity
Substitute emotions with excessive amounts of creatine
And you can't carry any weight that doesn't benefit your physique
You're not scared of anything except morals and dignity
Oh, you were doomed from the start according to attachment theory
'Cause I anxiously run towards you and you avoid anything remotely needy
Tainted, spilling milk over your friends
Kept the stick and both it's ends and I'm scared of everything
[Chorus]
I avoid New Hope and Belmar, all the places that you drive
When you need a cigarette, an escape from daily life
I avoid Trevose and Street road
'Cause I'm scared you'll think I'm following you
Even though it's my hometown, I only feel safe in my room
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah) But I'm not sorry that I loved you
(Ah) I'm only sorry that I saw something good
(Ah) In you (You), you
[Verse 2]
Burger King, french toast sticks taste better when you're sleep deprived
When everything's funny 'cause you made me stay up all night
I miss you most at 6 A.M. when our impulses made decisions
That shotgun ride, holding hands with a fraud
[Chorus]
I avoid New Hope and Belmar, all the places that you drive
When you need a cigarette, an escape from daily life
I avoid Trevose and Street road
'Cause I'm scared you'll think I'm following you
Even though it's my hometown, I only feel safe in my room
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah) But I'm not sorry that I loved you
(Ah) I'm only sorry that I saw something good
(Ah) In you (You), you
[Bridge]
All our dirty laundry 'cross the 'burbs of Philadelphia
Now, a stranger in Bucks County who flinches at Tame impala
And you'll never be sorry
You don't know that word has meaning
Well, then, I'm not sorry that I'm doing this
I'm not sorry that I can't forget, I'm not sorry that I can't forget
I'm not sorry that I can't forget, I'm not sorry that I can't forget
I'm not sorry that I can't forget
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah) But I'm not sorry that I loved you
(Ah) I'm only sorry that I saw something good
(Ah) In you (You), you
[Outro]
But I'm not sorry that I loved you
I'm only sorry that that I still do
