Girl Next Door

I hate that I can't look at the sun
The sunset's so pretty I come undone
I know it's bad for my eyes but maybe I'd rather be blind
Than never again see the sun streak the sky
Like a thousand fireflies
And I wish I could paint so you could see what I see

Because it makes me think of you, it makes me think of us
It makes me think of the ways I could've saved the two of us
Makes me wonder if I always knew
Before you pointed out you loved her too
You said it's true I'll never go a day without loving you
Knew I'd be the one you woke up to
So just how long was I stood on thin ice for
Before you changed your mind and went to the girl next door

I see you with her dancing under the tree
I feel sixteen when I see you not with me
I see you smile at her, like she's the only girl you've ever seen
And it breaks me because I know you never looked at me like that
And I can't go back and change the past oh no

Because it makes me think of you, it makes me think of us
It makes me think of the ways I could've saved the two of us
Makes me wonder if I always knew
Before you pointed out you loved her too
You said it's true I'll never go a day without loving you
Knew I'd be the one you woke up to
So just how long was I stood on thin ice for
Before you changed your mind and went to the girl next door

Now I'm running to old books and old films I've seen
Trying to figure out what'd make you treat me
Like this
And my friends can't answer why I wouldn't give up
Why I'd still want to believe in love
Like ours

Because it makes me think of you, it makes me think of us
It makes me think of the ways I could've saved the two of us
Makes me wonder if I always knew
Before you pointed out you loved her too
You said it's true I'll never go a day without loving you
Knew I'd be the one you woke up to
So just how long was I stood on thin ice for
Before you changed your mind and went to the girl next door
