it only hurts this much right now

after i leave the town

i know he will come around

waiting for the right time

to finally be mine

i know how this goes

i’ve seen this film before

he’s not my homeland anymore


oh how i love the times we had

even though i always end up sad

i didn’t know it would be this bad

always running back wanting more

say you hate me

for a while

then you love me

how’d you turn it right around?
