Lyrics
She's in love with someone else
She's romantically involved with someone else.
Would you choose me
Asking if she would choose the speaker over her current partner.
You look so happy I'm happy for you
The speaker expresses happiness for her despite personal feelings.
I never put anybody before you
Prioritizing her above others was significant to the speaker.
I was what you were to me that was loyal
The speaker valued her loyalty but acknowledges change.
I know things changed and I want to be cordial
Desire to maintain a polite and respectful relationship despite changes.
We all move on and become what we think about most
Reflection on how thoughts shape actions and outcomes.
I'll be on your mind when they're giving that toast
Belief that the speaker will be remembered during significant moments.
And that isn't arrogance I just know you so well you have regrets that live with like Ghosts
Knowing her regrets well, they haunt her like ghosts.
You should've tried I should've listened
Regretting missed attempts to salvage the relationship.
How did things end up so twisted
Wondering how things ended up so complicated and difficult.
You look so beautiful just like the first day we met
Complimenting her beauty reminiscing the initial meeting.
You didn't do better than me that's a stretch
Disputing the idea that she found someone better.
I been left when I tried to do right what do you get
Feeling abandoned despite efforts to do right.
When you love them they leave you they lie they forget
Expressing hurt from being left, lied to, and forgotten.
They deny you respect if only you knew me
Belief that she doesn't truly understand the speaker.
If only I told you before would you choose me
Questioning if revealing feelings earlier would change her choice.
Would you choose me? I don't know
Uncertainty about whether she would choose the speaker.
How could I feel any kind of emotion like hate
Unable to feel hate towards her despite the situation.
When it comes to you maybe this wasn't our fate
Doubting if their relationship was destined.
Who else can I blame what else can I say
Searching for blame and regretting the failure to persuade her to stay.
I missed my chance to convince you to stay
Realization of the swift consequences of poor choices.
It comes at you fast the result of all your bad decisions
Bad decisions lead to gained wisdom with time.
It turns into wisdom
Present circumstances are the culmination of past wrongs.
This is the fruition of all that that we had that went wrong
Singing this song as she moves on with her life.
I'm singing this song to you you're moving on
She's now engaged and progressing towards marriage.
You got engaged now you're getting married
Recalling her fear of commitment previously.
You always told me that that was so scary
Belief that her new partner offers her comfort.
But he must've given you something that kept you at ease
Reference to her comment about being hard to please.
You told me I'm so hard to please
Accepting her choice of not needing the speaker.
You don't need me fine there's no reasons why
Feeling unsettled and lacking peace of mind.
I should feel like this I haven't got peace of mind
Difficulty in maintaining a friendship post-breakup.
You want to be friends I just can't do it
Feeling foolish witnessing her vows to someone else.
You're making these vows and I feel so stupid like
Perceiving her happiness in letting go as perplexing.
You were happy to lose me it got confusing
Realizing that life doesn't always mirror movie endings.
How come things never go just like the movies
Feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts.
All of these thoughts are intrusive
Desiring closure that has not been attained.
Never got type closure that's conclusive
Reflecting on the unsettling nature of close relationships turning distant.
It's a scary thing
-How the people you're closest to can so quickly
Contemplating the rapid transition from closeness to estrangement.
Become strangers
Expressing the feeling of becoming strangers with once-close individuals.
