"I was thinking how nothing lasts and what a shame that is."-Benjamin Button


It’s not like I meant for this
It’s not like I planned for this
And it’s not like I love him

It’s just how things work out

It didn’t start with a kiss
And it won’t end like this
He was just there
Sitting there
I leaned in
It wasn’t right
But I figured what the ----?
It’s just one night

Chorus:
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you’ll forgive me
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you know
I didn’t cheat
He had me first
I didn’t lie
I just didn’t tell you

Now I’m sorry
And I just don’t know what to do

How about telling him the truth?

It didn’t start with a kiss
I went over to his house
Just to see, just to see
I didn’t want you to worry
So I didn’t say a thing
I planned to
Just use him
That was all
But then I looked at him and wandered was that all?
So I just leaned in, I just leaned in
Oh, I just leaned in

Chorus:
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you’ll forgive me
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you know
I didn’t cheat
He had me first
I didn’t lie
I just didn’t tell you

Now I’m sorry
And I hope you’ll forgive me
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you know
I didn’t cheat
He had me first
I didn’t lie
I just didn’t tell you

Bridge:
I thought I could have my cake and eat it
I thought I could have you and him
I thought I could have everything

Now I’m sorry
And I hope you’ll forgive me
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you know
I did cheat and I did lie
Lied to you since day one
I may be innocent
But I’m guilty too
I made you think I wouldn’t be one of them
Instead I joined them on that list

Chorus:
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you’ll forgive me
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you know
I didn’t cheat
He had me first
I didn’t lie
I just didn’t tell you

Now I’m sorry
And I hope you’ll forgive me
Now I’m sorry
And I hope you know
I didn’t cheat
He had me first
I didn’t lie
I just didn’t tell you

It didn’t start with a kiss

This is extrememly redundant; the chorus is the core of a song not all of the lyrics repeated.

I agree. You should give it a second chance. I play the six-string guitar and boy it sure is fun.

im stuck in this life that i didnt ask for.

Umm, the part where its like "it didnt start with a kiss, it wont end up like this" is the exact oppasit of Mr.brightside by the killers.. in that song it say "it started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this"  

otherwise it was great!

Um wow. i'm really sorry but this is kinda confusing i mean the whole way through the poem all i could think is you cheated and you say you did'nt and then you say you did weird! but you do write well through.

Gerard Way: "Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful."

Wow this is really amazing. I love how it flows and tells a great story.

It's too bad there isn't a way to post the music to song lyrics. I like the choice of words and the music that it made me think of while reading. Keep up the good work.
