First of all let’s go back to when I as 16

How can you have the world in the palm of your hand but still feel so low?

I learnt a lot of things the hard way

But there are so many things that I still don’t know

You were the first one to see my sparkle

That others deemed too hard to find

I would have done anything to keep you

Even if that meant never saying what was on my mind.

 

D               Bm          G               A

And here are one hundred words I never said:

D               Bm          G               A

I wish that you made me more cups of tea,

D               Bm          G               A

And I hate that instead of changing you just left me.

D               Bm          G               A

I hate that you made me say hi to your parents every single day after school

D               Bm          G               A

I hate that you made me love them and then took them away, boy that was so cruel

C               G

Now let’s go back to when we were 18

You said you’d love me forever, that we’d live together but surprise

How could you leave me alone in the city?

I know that you knew that I saw the world in your eyes.

G               C

I hate the fact that I told you on the phone that night

midnight 9^th of June,

all of the demons that I used to fight,

but  you said that you loved me and you’d be my spoon

D               Bm          G               A

I hate it how you never asked about my scars

I hate it how when I get the newspaper I still read your stars

I hated seeing you at a party for the first time in so long

I hate how you come into my head every time I sit down to write a song
