EmI was fine right beCfore I met her
GNever hurt and Dnothing could control me
EmYou know I tried, but I Ccan't regret her
GShe's the first, ask Danyone who knows me
EmTerrified that she'd Cfind my heart and break it
GParalyzed by the Dthought of her with someone Amelse
(I wish I would've knoCwn)
I shouldn't have fDallen in love with Emher
It's been Gnothing but trouble 'til Cnow
I shouldn't have Dfallen in love at Emall
But GI couldn't stop myCself
What gives you the Dright to tear up my Emlife?
How Gdare she be so Cperfect?
What did DI do to deEmserve this? Uh-oGhooo
