[Verse 1]

When we first met, I was just a Sophomore

We spent the night on Lydia's couch

I didn't know you were gon' break my heart then

I didn't know the pain I'd feel right now


[Pre-Chorus]

And I smile, yes, I smile

But underneath are memories

That I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying

To let go


[Chorus]

But it's not that simple

Type of misery

All these mixed up signals

In my head

I still hear these echoes

Of when you loved me

But now you're just someone in my mind

That used to be mine


[Verse 2]

People used to say I didn't deserve you

I was cool with that, 'cause I felt the same

But then they played my song on the radio

Yeah, I don't think you liked who I became


[Pre-Chorus]

And so you left, yeah, you left

On someone else's arm now

And I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying to let go


[Chorus]

But it's not that simple

Type of misery

All these mixed up signals

In my head

I still hear these echoes

Of when you loved me

But now you're just someone in my mind

That used to be mine


[Bridge]

'Cause baby, your beauty marks

Are like shooting stars

In my goofy heart is one of Cupid's darts

I'm just a nervous guy

And these words of mine

Won't reverse the time

To when you were mine


[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it's not that simple

Type of misery

All these mixed up signals


[Chorus]

No, it's not that simple

Type of misery

All these mixed up signals

In my head

I still hear these echoes

Of when you loved me

But now you're just someone in my mind

Now you're just someone in my mind

That used to be mine
