​why i will never build snowmen again (i wish you would too)

[Verse 1]
I should have known
That this would happen
It always does
It always does
I was a fool
I truly was
I truly was
If just because
If just because
I'm someone to abandon
I've always been
I've always been
You don't have to love me
But you didn't have to pretend
Oh, you really got me
I thought that for a second
You were my friend
And everyone who knows me has a motive
And once they've used me up they leave me in the dirt
Cause who would want someone like me
Who falls so short of everything people ever thought I'd be
At worst a persistent drag, at best inert
Yeah I'm someone not to keep around
If I was
You'd think I would have found someone who would have done it by now

[Chorus]
I’ve heard so many songs that go like this
“I wish that I could take back all the things I did to you”
I’m all alone left here in a wreck
And I wish you would too
I wish you would too
I can’t look in the mirror without thinking how
I hate the way I am and all the things I say and do
I see you feeling happy with yourself
And I wish you would too
I wish you would too

[Verse 2]
I led my men into an ambush
I didn’t know it was a war
And when it came down to it
I wasn’t worth fighting for
And I dream of breaking something I can’t get back
Tear up pages of old notebooks
Family postcards, precious vases
Memories of secret places
You said, “I don’t want to lose you”
But you didn’t mean you’d change
You can’t rend my flesh to bone
And fix the wound with just a phrase
But if that’s how it’s gonna be
Then I’ll be gone before too long
I’ve played this game before
Too many times for you to be wrong

[Chorus]
I’ve heard so many songs that go like this
“I wish that I could take back all the things I did to you”
I’m all alone and left here in a wreck
And I wish you would too
I wish you would too
I can’t look in the mirror without thinking how
I hate the way I am and all the things I say and do
I see you feeling happy with yourself
And I wish you would too

[Bridge]
And if you hate me
You’re in good company
With all of my enemies
At the table beside me
But you won’t win this one
There’s no competition
No, you won’t win this one
There’s no competition
I wish you would too

[Outro]
And I will never leave my hole (Never leave my hole)
And walk out in the snow (Walk out in the snow)
And let these sticks and stones fall on my head
(And let these sticks and stones fall on my head)
And I love all those who do (Love all those who do)
Said one day that I would be like you (Never be like you)
But I think that day I'd probably wind up dead
(Think that day I'd probably wind up dead)
And I will never leave my hole
And it's not too late
And walk out in the snow
For me to build snowmen
And let these sticks and stones fall on my head
I just can't handle the cold (Stones fall on my head)
And I love all those who do
It's not too late
Said one day that I would be like you
For me to build snowmen
But I think that day I'd probably wind up dead
I just can't handle the cold (Probably wind up dead)
It's not too late for me to build snowmen (I won't idolize nobody)
And I wish that I could say sorry
I just can't handle the cold (I won't see that dress again)
To all the people I said I'd build snowmen with one day
It's not too late for me to build snowmen (I won't idolize nobody)
But I guess it's not so easy, that's just my problem
I just can't handle the cold (I won't see that dress again)
None of them would ever want to hear a single word I would ever have to say
