๐ Lyrics
I swim in water from a wishing well
I swore my secrets I will never tell
But then you saw a side of me
A part I thought you'd never see
A surface world of boy meets girl
Then girl takes world and turns it into hell
This one's not gonna be a sad song
Even though you dragged me through a long one
So here's my resignation, retired from infatuation
I'll take my time and I'll show myself the door
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you love to lie
You're not the person that you led me to expect
What I look for in another is what your jealousy reflects
All of the stress
From failing all your little tests
Lying side by side in bed with you was something that I wanted to forget
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you love to lie
I swim in water from a wishing well
I keep my secrets; I will never tell
It's not my fault that you're content with second best
There's so much more to you than just that pretty dress
But you love to
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you need to learn to laugh
Try not to cry
So raise a glass to better health and better times
And now I see why you're still sad and I'm just fine
'Cos you're a nice girl but you love to lie
I swore my secrets I will never tell
But then you saw a side of me
A part I thought you'd never see
A surface world of boy meets girl
Then girl takes world and turns it into hell
This one's not gonna be a sad song
Even though you dragged me through a long one
So here's my resignation, retired from infatuation
I'll take my time and I'll show myself the door
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you love to lie
You're not the person that you led me to expect
What I look for in another is what your jealousy reflects
All of the stress
From failing all your little tests
Lying side by side in bed with you was something that I wanted to forget
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you love to lie
I swim in water from a wishing well
I keep my secrets; I will never tell
It's not my fault that you're content with second best
There's so much more to you than just that pretty dress
But you love to
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you need to learn to laugh
Try not to cry
So raise a glass to better health and better times
And now I see why you're still sad and I'm just fine
'Cos you're a nice girl but you love to lie
