I always tried to look good
When I knew I would see you
I used to think twice about what should I say
Or what should I do

I knew your favorite restaurants
The lyrics to your favorite songs
I used to try to love the things you love the most
I hope you know
It was cause of you

And maybe I tried too hard
To break apart too fast
I fell in love with the story
Without reading the rest
I've been crying on my bed
Should've predicted it myself
Your heart always belonged to
Somebody else

I bet she is perfect for you
She is so pretty and she seems so cool
I see the way that she makes you laugh
Wish I could too

And you probably take her to the places
I always thought we should've gone
You probably ask her to dance in the living room
To the sound of Elton John

And maybe I tried too hard
To break apart too fast
I fell in love with the story
Without reading the rest
I've been crying on my bed
Should've predicted it myself
Your heart always belonged to
Somebody else

I would try to go to the beach in the summer
'Cause I knew you'd be there too
I would try to like going out to the parties
So maybe I could run into you
I would change every little piece of me
So maybe you'd love me just a little bit
But it never worked
'Cause I'm not like her

And maybe I tried too hard
To break apart too fast
I fell in love with the story
Without reading the rest
One day I won't have to change
A single part of myself
When my heart belong to
Somebody else
