Allie, I've got something to confess
I wasn't as faithful as you might have guessed
When you're here, I promise nothing's second best
But while you're gone, I'm always dreaming of what's next
Will we make it through another year?
This time, I'm not so sure
Cuz you never thought that you would be the one left losing
You thought that I'm the kind of boy to sit here
Musing over something so far away
Assuming too much, you said you were my one and only
I left a bitter taste, now you're lonely staring at the foot of your door
When you call me, I'm at full attention
My words can't betray me because you're the one who listens
Your neighbors say that we are perfect together
But while you were away, I did some things I said I'd never
My heart is racing, it's all a mess
I need to sit out this round
Cuz I'm all alone now with no way out
I'll try and win her back one day, I swear
Cuz I never thought that I would be the one left losing
The perfect girl who puts up with all my lying and keeps me in my place
