NEVER WOULD’VE THOUGHT.

[Instrumental In]
[Verse 1]
I wrote a song for you, buried my trust in you –
said I would fly to the other side for you.
Roses are red, violets are blue,
how could I have known about the other dude.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
They say love isn't easy, I thought otherwise 'cause of how you treated me,
they say that someone's gonna get hurt, but I'd rather it be my heart in the dirt.

[Chorus]
I never thought that you'd walk away, I always thought that this was easy,
but now that he's holding you by your hand, I never would've thought –
that you'd leave me, you'd leave me, you'd leave me.
I never would've thought – that you'd leave me, you'd leave me,
you'd leave me..

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I made a map for you, designed a path for you –
to get where you needed to be and we'd make it through.
I bet you thought I'd knew, soon figure out the truth –
how he was your man though he can't do the things I do.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
They say that love isn't easy, I thought otherwise cause of how you treated me,
they say don't fall so fast, don't fall too hard –
'cause after you fall there's no way of getting up.

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I remain in pieces, while you're so happy,
but you could've been happier, happier with me –
why should it matter what they say, it's not their business anyway,
somehow I'm sure I can live another day.
We could always find some way, if it doesn't work out it'll be okay,
because I'm sure I can breathe another day,
another day.

[Instrumental/Break]

[Chorus]
[Outro]
Even if he breaks your heart, I'll be there to console your depart –
no matter where you are.
But now that he's holding you, by your hand I don't got a clue,
and at the end of the day I'd never, I never would've thought –
that you'd leave..
