[Verse 1]
That feeling coming through my body
A train under my feet
That's hurtling beneath me
[Chorus]
And the worst way I ever felt
Was from this same boy that I still miss
Cause I messed it up
And it broke my heart
And the worst things I ever did
Was to this same boy I couldn't help it
Yeah, the worst way I ever felt
Was from this same boy that I still miss
Cause I messed it up
And it broke my heart
[Verse 2]
Now it's been so long I honestly
Wish I could see clearly
But the memory still hurts me
If I feel it in the morning
A gentle street that's bustling
Underneath my open window
[Chorus]
But the worst way I ever felt
Was from this same boy that I still miss
Cause I messed it up
And it broke my heart
And the worst things I ever did
Was to this same boy I couldn't help it
I messed things up
And I broke his heart
[Bridge]
So I bite my lip and I hold my tongue
And I wait for the pain to be gone
But some days I still let you back in
I bite my lip and I hold my tongue
And I wait for the pain to be gone
But some days, some days, I still let it back in
[Chorus]
But the worst way I ever felt
Was from this same boy that I still miss
Cause I messed it up
And it broke my heart
And the worst things I ever did
Was to this same boy I couldn't help it
I messed things up
And it broke my heart
This happened a very long time ago, but he still thinks about it a lot. Here he relates that feeling to the ever-presence of gravity; to not think about this breakup would be similar to defying gravity, which is impossible.
Despite the fact that he truly loves this person, he did something to really hurt them.
