the girl you shouldn't have kissed

Green and golden moments stolen from right behind my eyes
Fields and foilsick play my music underneath street lights

Few months older
None the wiser
Lose myself in the mess and now I guess
I missed
The signs

When you speak about her, say it's over
You can't even look at me
You dream about her
In the hours that I spent crying

Oh, to be her for a day
To have you look at me that way
And not have to beg for you to stay
What I'd give to be the one you missed
And not the girl that you shouldn't have kissed

Green to golden
Summer to autumn
Leaves fell to the ground
And as they did, my caution slipped
I felt my guard fall down

Few months older
Thought I was wiser
But as I called your name that's when she said
"I missed your eyes"
Now I realize

That when you speak about her, say it's over
You can't even look at me
You dream about her
In the hours that I spent crying

Oh, to be her for a day
To have you look at me that way
And not have to beg for you to stay
What I'd give to be the one you missed
And not the girl that you shouldn't have kissed

But if you called me, I'd answer the phone
And if you told me that you let her go
And if you promised I wouldn't be alone
Then it's not like I would tell myself "I told you so"
And if I ticked every box on your list
And if I forgave you for all of your shit
Then in an instant I'd be overwrite
And I'd forget I was the girl you shouldn't have kissed

Oh, to be her for a day
To have you look at me that way
And not have to beg for you to stay
What I'd give to be the one you missed
And not the girl that you shouldn't have
Not the girl that you shouldn't have kissed

Oh, to be her
I wanna be her
