To the boy who should've loved me
|
From the boy you could've had
|
I promise not to send this letter
|
I wouldn't want you to feel bad
|
For not opening your heart to me
|
For your unavailability
|
I guess you're not required to like me
|
But did you fake it just to spite me?
|
|
Well, here's a little string-a-long song for you
|
So give up your pride, your past, your pain,
|
Your fear of intimacy,
|
And string-a-long with me too
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
Thanks for leading me on, but this time I'm gonna be strong
|
Although your disinterest kinda came as a surprise cuz
|
You could see the sin and the sadness and taste the gin and the madness
|
On my lips and in my eyes, well, I can't help that I want to see you again
|
But it takes two to start a string-along song and only one to make it end
|
|
Well, the flake syndrome is an epidemic that spans the globe from town to town
|
But I can't figure out why you'd put forth such an effort to win me over just to turn me down
|
Cuz your words are so soft and sweet, but your actions are screaming
|
And if you see me waiting around for you, hope you also see that you're dreaming
|
|
Well, here's a little string-a-long song for you
|
So give up your pride, your past, your pain
|
Your fear of intimacy
|
And string-a-long with me too
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
I know you'll break my heart
|
I know I'll fall apart
|
I know cuz this is how it starts
|
And maybe it's wrong of me
|
To wish that we could be
|
But your kiss matched mine so perfectly
|
|
So here's a little string-a-long song for you
|
So give up your pride, your past, your pain,
|
Your fear of intimacy,
|
And string-a-long with me too
|
|
Thanks for leading me on, but this time I'm gonna be strong
|
I wish you weren't too scared to speak your goodbyes cuz
|
The truth is I wish you well, thanks for saving me from hell
|
I owe you one of the few I got left of my nine lives, well,
|
I can't help that I want to see you again
|
But it takes two to start a string-along song and only one to make it end
|
