♪ I can't stand the dialogue She would never be ♪

♪ That satisfied, it's a male fantasy ♪

♪ I'm going back to therapy ♪

♪ ♪

♪ 'Cause I loved you then And I love you now ♪

♪ And I don't know how ♪

♪ Guess it's hard to know when Nobody else comes around ♪

♪ If I'm getting over you ♪

♪ Or just pretending to ♪

♪ Be alright Convince myself I hate you ♪

♪ ♪

♪ I got a call from a girl I used to know ♪

♪ We were inseparable years ago ♪

♪ Thought we'd get along But it wasn't so ♪

♪ ♪

♪ And it's all I think about When I'm behind the wheel ♪

♪ I worry this is how I'm always gonna feel ♪

♪ But nothing lasts I know the deal ♪
