Autodotal

I know you're sad now
All alone and saying that you've had enough
We talked for hours
Once about the girl you used to love

You both said you'd give it everything
But you'd make it through the tough times
But they never came
No you have nothing to blame
For her just being done

You two used to stay up late
Talking about the stars
Said she was your inspiration
For learning the guitar

Your favorite band she shared
You were unprepared to stop singing along
Now when you see them play
You'll remember that day all wrong

So how could you forget the number one rule
Never love somebody
Never love somebody
Anymore than they love you

And I could have told you from the start
That you'd end up the broken one
Stitchin up your heart
While she moves on
Forgets the whole year before
Only ever half way there
That's all you were to her

I need space
Is all she said
Before she started talking to your best friend
And you die a little more
Each time that you see them standing side by side

Now you're going around from door to door
Asking girls if they've heard this band before
But even if you found another girl like her
You're always gonna be the one that feels things more

And your story isn't one that's hard to find
I wonder when you'll wake up
And say, "how could I be so blind"

And how could you forget the number one rule
Never love somebody
Never love somebody
Anymore than they love you

And I could have told you from the start
That you'd end up the broken one
Stitchin up your heart
While she moves on
Forgets the whole year before
Only ever half way there
That's all you were to her

Now you're screaming through her window
"I can't live without you!"
My love for you isn't there anymore
Why didn't she say that to you before

Cuz you fell so hard
And ya hit the ground
You just laid there
You didn't make a sound
Another girl like her will come around
But you better keep your head down
Cuz when you're always there for someone who doesn't care
They won't. love you found. that you won't share

So don't you forget the number one rule
Never love somebody
Never love somebody
Anymore than they love you

And I should have told you from the start
You'll always end up the broken one
Stitchin up your heart
And she's moved on
Forgot the whole year before
Only ever half way there
That's all you were to her
