So I never really knew you 00:15

God, I really tried to 00:17

Blindsided, addicted 00:19

Felt we could really do this 00:23

But really I was foolish 00:25

Hindsight, it's obvious 00:27

Talking with my lawyer 00:31

She said, "Where'd you find this guy?" 00:33

I said, "Young people fall in love 00:35

With the wrong people sometimes" 00:37

Some mistakes get made 00:40

That's alright, that's okay 00:41

You can think that you're in love 00:44

When you're really just in pain 00:45

Some mistakes get made 00:48

That's alright, that's okay 00:49

In the end, it's better for me 00:51

That's the moral of the story, babe 00:53

(Oh-oh, oh-oh) 00:56

(Oh-oh, oh-oh) 01:00

It's funny how a memory 01:04

Turns into a bad dream 01:06

When running wild turns volatile 01:08

Remember how we painted our house 01:12

Just like my grandparents did? 01:14

So romantic, but we fought the whole time 01:15

Should have seen the signs, yeah 01:18

Talking with my mother 01:20

They say it's better to have loved and lost 02:00

Than never to have loved at all 02:04

That could be a load of shit 02:08

But I just need to tell you all 02:12

Some mistakes get made 02:18

Lyrics:

[English]

So I never really knew you

God, I really tried to

Blindsided, addicted

Felt we could really do this

But really I was foolish

Hindsight, it's obvious

Talking with my lawyer

She said, "Where'd you find this guy?"

I said, "Young people fall in love

With the wrong people sometimes"

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

You can think that you're in love

When you're really just in pain

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

In the end, it's better for me

That's the moral of the story, babe

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

It's funny how a memory

Turns into a bad dream

When running wild turns volatile

Remember how we painted our house

Just like my grandparents did?

So romantic, but we fought the whole time

Should have seen the signs, yeah

Talking with my mother

She said, "Where'd you find this guy?"

Said, "Some people fall in love

With the wrong people sometimes"

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

You can think that you're in love

When you're really just in pain

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

In the end it's better for me

That's the moral of the story, babe

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

They say it's better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all

That could be a load of shit

But I just need to tell you all

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

You can think that you're in love

When you're really just engaged

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

In the end it's better for me

That's the moral of this story

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

You can think that you're in love

When you're really just in pain

Some mistakes get made

That's alright, that's okay

In the end it's better for me

That's the moral of the story, babe

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Oh-oh, oh-oh (that's the moral of the story, that's the-)
