[Chorus]
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
[Verse 1]
Everyone told me to stay away from you
But I couldn't listen, I couldn't shake the way that you move
I saw the warning signs from the start
But I never thought you'd break my heart, my heart
[Chorus]
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
[Verse 2]
My dirty angel you've done it now, it's too late
You put your footprints into the ground, a careful mistake
I lay in your bed cold, craving the sun, oh no
And I used to think you were the one, the one
[Chorus]
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
[Bridge]
Feeling down and so vulnerable
We're calling your bluff
Give me a reason why you can't keep your story straight
And babe I've had enough!
I refuse to get emotional
No, this will take more
Put fire out with fire, dirty liar gonna even up the score!
[Chorus]
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
I'm standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you're sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You'd figure in time
