It didn't have to happen this way
Tell me it was just another stupid mistake
You keep telling me to leave, but then you beg me to stay
It shouldn't have to happen this way

So if you miss me, then why'd you have to leave me?
Don't say you're sorry and don't tell me that you need me
'Cause I'm going home alone tonight
Never knowing if I'll see those eyes again
And now I'm trying to forget
So don't tell me that you miss me

So when did everything change?
'Cause baby, I was ready to give you my name
When did everything get so heavy?
Feel like it all changed in a second
I'm second-guessing every question I have for you

So if you miss me, then why'd you have to leave me?
Don't say you're sorry and don't tell me that you need me
'Cause I'm going home alone tonight
Never knowing if I'll see those eyes again
And now I'm trying to forget
So don't tell me that

You're better now, you doubled back
You wanted out, and I gave you that
So don't blur the lines, 'cause there's no second tries

So if you miss me, then why'd you have to leave me?
Don't say you're sorry and don't tell me that you need me
'Cause I'm going home alone tonight
Never knowing if I'll see those eyes again
And now I'm trying to forget
So don't tell me that you miss me
