Lyrics
Just when everything was making sense
You took away all my self-confidence
Now all that I’ve been hearing must be true
I guess I’m not the only boy for you
That’s what I get
How could you turn us into this?
After you just taught me how to kiss you
I told you I’d never say goodbye
Now I’m slipping on the tears you made me cry
That’s what I get
Why does it come as a surprise
To think that I was so naïve
Maybe didn’t mean so much
But it meant everything to me
