I guess that I was not the one for you
Some fairy tales are not supposed to come true
It’s 3 a.m. and I’m asleep
or at least that is what you think
But I know what you’re up to
Don’t you dare apologize to me
When you smell like dirty lies and whiskey
I’m better off all by myself
I say to you sir, fare thee well
and I’ll see you in Hell
Well, well, well look who it is now
Standing at my door
Trying to sleep on my couch
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
What did you think I would let you in
And we could just pretend like nothing ever happened
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
Cause I’m not there for you
I can’t be there for you anymore
So I hear that you are seeing someone
Do you think that he would mind if I stuck around
If you could hear what you just asked
You’d know the past is in the past
And you’re not welcome here
No, you’re not welcome
Well, well, well look who it is now
Standing at my door
Trying to sleep on my couch
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
What did you think I would let you in
And we could just pretend like nothing ever happened
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
Cause I’m not there for you
I can’t be there for you anymore
You broke my heart when I was young
You tore my life apart and you had fun
And now you feel
You feel what it feels like
To need someone
But I’m not the one
Well, look who it is now
Standing at my door
Trying to sleep on my couch
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
What did you think I would let you in
And we could just pretend like nothing ever happened
I don’t think so
No, no, no, no
Cause I’m not there for you
I can’t be there for you anymore
