[Verse 1]
Take your hurting heart, throw it in my face
God, I hate this part
Let's go for coffee
You can tell me how it's all my fault
You are my best friend, and that hasn't changed
Wish that we could mend this
I had a freak-out
I tried to reach out and you ignored me
[Chorus]
Lauren said you were working at the bar
Pullin' pints for rich guys, wishin' on a star
Now you've got new friends
Oh, I don't doubt it
And to them, I'm just some girl who broke your heart
And wrote a song about it
[Verse 2]
We've been out on tour, how is London-town?
It's so stupid hot in Texas
Now, it's hard to breathe
Oh, I'm not built to try and carry all this guilt you gave me
[Bridge]
And I know, when I'm home
I'm bound to see you somewhere
But you'll keep walking, you owe me nothing
But it'll kill me right there
I'd rather scream it at the wall, then not say it at all
I miss you
[Chorus]
And Marcus said you seem to be alright
I'll pretend I don't care, but it keeps me up at night
Now you've got new friends
And I don't doubt it
And to them, I'm just some girl who broke your heart
And wrote a song about it
[Outro]
And I've got new friends
Just to let you know
And to them you're just some boy who lost his mind
And took a while to let go
