Looking back, I think I should've known Been telling all your friends I did you wrong But I've been pullin' these strings for way too long And how could I, how could I ever be so wrong? We talked about forever, but forever never came I'd opened up the door, you let it slam right in my face Never even checked if I got home safe at night So how am I to blame? 'Cause I kept just hurting my back for my darling And in return I got nothing I should've known from the start (ooh-ooh) And I've been honest with someone who's lying Selling me stones for diamonds Yeah, you tore us apart (ooh-ooh) Burn up all the memories, up in flame (mm) Making sure that I'll forget your face (oh) Too many years went down the drain, ooh I know that I, I will never make the same mistake, ooh-ooh We talked about forever, but forever never came You were the aggressor, throwing dirt all over my name But don't forget to mention who made you feel safe at night (yeah, yeah, yeah) So tell 'em I'm insane 'Cause I kept just hurting my back for my darling And in return I got nothing (nothin') I should've known from the start (ooh-ooh) And I've been honest with someone who's lying Selling me stones for diamonds Yeah, you tore us apart (ooh-ooh)
