Original Lyrics

Verse 1: 

It was not until long ago 

that all my stars aligned 

Caught up in the nick of time

When I met you and your green eyes 

Pre: 

It was all in a rush 

Fell so fast 

That I kept on tumbling down 

My steady feet turned to dust 

Anticipation crawled all over my spine 

Who would think that....?

Chorus: 

Smiles turn to frowns 

And hearts shatter into pieces 

From the same set of eyes 

I’m not sure why 

With you I thought it’d be different 

Now picking up the mess we made 

Verse 2: 

You memorized my beauty marks 

Kisses and promises, all we did was love 

But now time’s passed, we lost our spark 

Now that you've ended it, our love’s all gone 

Pre: 

It was all in a rush 

Fell so fast 

That I kept on tumbling down 

My steady feet turned to dust 

Anticipation crawled all over my spine 

Who would think that....?

Chorus: 

Smiles turn to frowns 

And hearts shatter into pieces 

From the same set of eyes 

I’m not sure why 

With you I thought it’d be different 

Now picking up the mess we made 

Bridge: 

I’m so confused 

Where were you?

When I was mourning the ghost of you

And the promises you never kept

And the secrets I regret to share 

I’m crying in my apartment’s roof

My heads been spinning because of you

Time can heal most but right now I’m shattered in pieces 

Chorus: 

Smiles turn to frowns 

And hearts shatter into pieces 

From the same set of eyes 

I’m not sure why 

With you I thought it’d be different

Outro: 

Smiles turn to frowns 

And hearts shatter into pieces 

….

I just never thought we’d end this way 

Verse 1:

I should’ve had known  

This would all fall apart

Shouldn’t have trusted you with my heavy heart 

I hoped I’d dodge the pain that you’d cause 

Wish I could erase tainted memories in my mind 

Pre:

Right from the start 

Shouldn’t have lent you my heart 

You exploited it (you did baby)

And now that I’ve wasted my time 

Sitting by and hoping we’re fine

Know now that I’m calling the shots 

You’re good as dead to me now 

Chorus:

I shouldn’t settle for fake love

When fake love's all that you gave me 

My mind is racing with every thought 

Reminiscing on the shit you put me through 

Verse 2: 

Perplexing situations 

Thought it was just me being a bit naive 

Lack of communication 

Destroyed me 

You had me begging on my knees 

Pre:

Right from the start 

Shouldn’t have lent you my heart 

You exploited it  (you did baby)

And now that I’ve wasted my time 

Sitting by and hoping we’re fine

Know now that I’m calling the shots 

You’re good as dead to me now 

Chorus:

I shouldn’t settle for fake love

When fake love's all that you gave me 

My mind is racing with every thought 

Reminiscing on the shit you put me through 

(Instrumental Break)

Bridge:

Oh, maybe someday I’ll stumble upon 

You and your new victim of love 

Poor girls those who fall into your 

Fake devotion 

And now that I’ve carved this all out in stone  

The cracks of our love they can’t be undone 

You double crosser

Disappointment of a man 

Chorus:

I shouldn’t settle for fake love

When fake love's all that you gave me 

My mind is racing with every thought 

Reminiscing on the shit you put me through 

(Oh the shit you put me through)

Verse 1:

You sit in a dark empty room

Thoughts racing

A never ending haze 

It’s the truth

Never walked in her shoes 

So the highway she had to choose 

Pre-Chorus: 

Fumbled and stumbled

The best laid plans 

Your lies and affection 

Go hand in hand 

Disguising frame, trophies obtained 

What have you gained? 

Chorus: 

She’s a lint in your sweater 

Hoping one day you’ll treat her better 

Annoying piece of fabric

 To you she’s just static 

Now her heart breaks

Cause you don’t have What It Takes 

Verse 2: 

She sits by the flowing river 

She still remembers 

How your touch lingers 

It’s the truth

She brought out the best version of you 

Now regrets

Fill the cracks in your room 

Pre-Chorus: 

Fumbled and stumbled

The best laid plans 

Your lies and affection 

Go hand in hand 

Disguising frame, trophies obtained 

What have you gained? 

Chorus: 

She’s a lint in your sweater 

Hoping one day you’ll treat her better 

Annoying piece of fabric

 To you she’s just static 

Now her heart breaks

Cause you don’t have What It Takes 

Bridge:

Kissing in the rain 

Droplets decorate her face 

She still remembers

You gave her your sweater 

She’s hoping you’ll love her forever 

(Forever)

Chorus: 

She’s a lint in your sweater 

Hoping one day you’ll treat her better 

Annoying piece of fabric

 To you she’s just static 

Now her heart breaks

Cause you don’t have What It Takes 

Verse 1:

I lost my dignity and my head 

You had my heart in the palm of your hand 

Split that thing in two 

Leave me stranded here me like a mess 

I’ll grief your ghost sleeping in my bed 

Pre-chorus: 

i’m sick and tired of your stupid games 

I’m not something you can play 

The compliments you paid 

Are tainted now 

No trusting you now 

Chorus: 

You got me thinking-over 

Drinking-over

Wishing its over

Can it be over??

Lock eyes and hands turn cold 

I’m shaking when you call

Can this just be over

Can it be over?

Verse 2:

Told me it was all for the best 

You left me hanging when i stayed

Beat around the bush

It drove me all insane 

Now you come crawling back here again 

Pre-chorus: 

I’m sick and tired of your stupid games 

I‘m not something you can play 

The compliments you paid 

Are tainted now

No trusting you now 

Chorus: 

You got me thinking-over 

Drinking-over

Wishing its over

Can it be over??

Lock eyes and hands turn cold 

I’m shaking when you call

Can this just be over

Can it be over?

Bridge: 

A sick, love-yearning obsession 

Bad habit of possession 

Deprived of your affection 

I’m thinking (thinking)

A tricky situation 

My mind craves your attention 

Perplexing complications 

(I’m thinking)

Anti-Chorus: 

You got me thinking-over 

Drinking-over

Wishing its over

Can it be?

Chorus: 

You got me thinking-over 

Drinking-over

Wishing its over

Can it be over??

Lock eyes and hands turn cold 

I’m shaking when you call

Can this just be over

Can it be over?
