Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You said it, then, you walked away
But you don't know what goodbye means
Baby, I'm sorry, didn't ever mean to hurt you
Please, save it for a rainy day
'Cause you don't know what crying's like
When the world keeps spinning and I can't take it alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And you're so different from all those other people
I thought it would be different with you
But I can't see you crying without me
So, I guess I'll have to make it through without you
[Chorus]
I wasn't ready for your one-sided goodbye
You walked around like you loved me, I
Notice how the world tries to mask that word
"See you later"
"Gotta go," oh-no
[Verse 2]
I don't care what they would say
If you love someone, don't let them go
Do you believe in taking chances?
So tell me why you walked away
'Cause I can't see through your heart
Everything's hazy and you're making me crazy for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I thought you were different
Maybe I'm crazy
I know I wasn't numb with you
But I can't hear you crying without me
So, I guess I'll have to make it through without you
[Chorus]
I wasn't ready for your one-sided goodbye
You walked around like you loved me, I
Notice how the world tries to mask that word
"See you later
"Gotta go"
[Bridge]
Why can't you see, why can't you be
Madly in love with me, too?
Past emotion, but you've already spoken
I guess I'll have to make it through without you
[Chorus]
I wasn't ready for your one-sided goodbye
You walked around like you loved me, I
Notice how the world tries to mask that word
"See you later"
"Gotta go", oh-no
