Lyrics
I took the introduction, I've seen you 2 out before
It's been a couple months now, maybe it's been more
When I said, that we would still be friends, I lied
It's not that I don't wanna be
It's just that we're not gonna be
'Cause I still Love you, I I I
I still Love you I I I
I still hear your voice and know I have no choice
I will not pretend, I will not be your friend
'Cause I still Love you
I've always been the grown-up, and kept a level head
How neatly this was sewn up, I'm ripping out the threads CHORUS
I was civil the last time and nearly lost my mind
It's just a cross I can not bare if you don't like it I don't care
'Cause I still Love you Am
I know you're not the same person, & somehow you've moved on
With you I'm not a sane person, I'm not going, I'm not gone CHORUS
I thought I'd be the bigger man, that was such a stupid plan
I just refuse to rise above, I can not like you I'm in love
I can't accept that it's alright your kissing someone else goodnight
I'm friends with every other ex, but with you it's more complex
