LYRICS

(Verse 1)

you pulled me in from the first time we met

I was sad, so alone, and you made me forget

All the expectations that lived inside my head

A good distraction

(Chorus 1)

It was no surprise we had each other’s backs

Back when we were young and I was under attack

By everyone who knew there was something I lacked

I was never good enough

(Verse 2)

How was I supposed to know that we’d end up this way

When I didn’t even know if I would see another day

I swear I didn’t mean to scare you like that

I just wanted to feel numb again

(Chorus 2)

Don’t be surprised if I never come back

Seems like all this time I was under attack

By a man who used to look at me and laugh

Is it sad I thought that was love?

(Bridge)

You put me down from the first time we met

Now matter what you say, you’ll never make me forget

All the fun you seemed to have messing around with my head

Now I know it was never love

(Chorus 2)

It was no surprise we ended up this way

The miles between us as I live another day

At eighteen years old we thought we ruled the world

We didn’t own anything at all

(Refrain)

If I could get away with never seeing you again

Would I still wonder what could have been?

It was no surprise

at eighteen years old

We didn’t know anything at all
