'Til you tore it all up
C
Running scared, I was there
Gadd11 Am Fsus2
I remember it all too well
C
And you call me up again
Gadd11
Just to break me like a promise
Am Fsus2
So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
Am Fsus2
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
[Verso 4]

They say "All's well that ends well"

But I'm in a new hell every time
Fsus2
You double-cross my mind
C Gadd11
You said if we had been closer in age
Am
Maybe it would have been fine
Fsus2
And that made me want to die
C
The idea you had of me, who was she?
Gadd11 Am
A never-needy, ever lovely jewel
Fsus2
Whose shine reflects on you
C
Not weeping in a party bathroom
Gadd11
Some actress asking me what happened
Am
You
Fsus2
That's what happened: you
C Gadd11
You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
Am Fsus2
Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show
C
But then he watched me watch the front door
Gadd11
all night, willing you to come
Am
And he said, "it's supposed to be fun
Fsus2
Turning 21"
