[Verse 1]

Writing these feelings down for you to forget

Swearing him off to suppress your regret

You think you gave him everything

But that’s the reason you’re suffering

[Refrain]

We can’t always have it our way

The stars align darling

But not in a day

[Verse 2]

Looking at places where you thought you’d find

That lover who would understand your mind

Don’t keep on wasting your time

Longing for boys with their petty clever lines

[Refrain]

When did you lose your sight?

On the concrete you’ve fallen hard

With no maps to guide you, I’d get lost too

[Verse 3]

Reading the pages of your memories

From blots and creases of your old diary

That’s when you realized what was real

You had to die just to feel
