Lyrics

You told all your friends,

You shared with others

"He's someone I'll regret."

Your anticipation of future regret

He's out there setting fires to

He engages in destructive behavior to confront inner struggles

The demons in his head

Internal battles and conflicts within his mind


Once you called it perfect love

Originally described as perfect love

You now call it accident

Now labeled as an unintended occurrence

Do you sit with your photo books

Reflecting on the past through photo books

Wondering where it went

Pondering the disappearance of that love


It was clearly never meant to be

Recognition that the relationship was never destined to succeed


You told all your friends,

Repeating the initial statement to a different audience

"He's someone I'll forget."

Expressing a determination to move on from the memory

How do you erase a ghost

The challenge of forgetting a lingering presence (ghost)

Who sleeps inside your bed

Symbolic reference to intimacy and shared space


Throw away your wedding rings

Discarding symbols of commitment and unity

Give away the gown

Parting with the attire associated with marriage

Say goodbye to the accident

Bidding farewell to an unplanned and troublesome event

Who only brought you down

Recognizing the negative impact of the past relationship


It was clearly never meant to be

Reiteration that the relationship had no destined success


You told all your friends,

Reiterating the anticipation of future regret to a different audience

"He's someone I'll regret."

Expressing determination to forget the past

He's out there setting fires to

Repeating the theme of internal struggles

The demons in his head

Highlighting the ongoing internal conflicts


Once you called it perfect love

Originally considered as perfect love

You now call it accident

Now seen as an accidental occurrence

Do you sit with your photo books

Reflecting on the past through photo books

Wondering where he went

Questioning the disappearance of the former love


It was clearly never meant to be

Reiteration that the relationship was never meant to succeed
