Flashback to the summertime, you were holding me so close
I remember that new feeling, thinking I was the one you chose
Holding my hand, holding me tight, watching sunsets on the hill
I asked you then and I'll ask you now, was it ever real
When you left me I was empty, I was shaken to my core
With all my heart, I wished and wished that you'd walk back through the door
Walk back through the door
And if you're listening to this now and a boy has just broken your heart
I'll tell you a few things I wish someone told me back at the start
First off, although he's in yours, you're not in his head
He's different, he's changed, and he's not coming back again
(2, 3, 4)
Don't text him saying you love him, you know that won't change a thing
Don't beg for that boy back, he can take everything but your dignity
Don't be stupid and follow your heart
Don't wish you could take it back, back to the start
You can't turn back time, he's gone
And all you gotta do is keep moving on
At first I was so broken, I thought that I just couldn't mend
I'd wrote an entire novel for you, my message didn't send
I'd find myself begging on my, crying on my knees
My brain was clouded with lack of sleep and all these memories
That picture frame you gave to me, I remember that day so clear
Well I broke it up, put it in my trash, without shedding a tear
See when the tables have turned, things aren't the way they were
You can't turn back into, the person you were before
What it's all about, you need to figure out how to live upside down
Don't text him saying you love him, you know that won't change a thing
Don't beg for that boy back, he can take everything but your dignity
Don't be stupid and follow your heart
Don't wish you could take it back, back to the start
You can't turn back time, he's gone
And all you gotta do is keep moving on
Let him miss you, let him regret, but don't ever let him see you sweat
Let him miss you, let him regret, but don't ever let him see you sweat
I know it hurts, it's unwarranted pain
Don't be looking around for someone to blame
I'll look at us then, I look at you now
The old you is gone, but I'm not sure how
I know people will change, there's nothing you can do
For some reason, though, I didn't think one of those people would be you
Don't text him saying you love him, you know that won't change a thing
Don't beg for that boy back, he can take everything but your dignity
Don't be stupid and follow your heart
Don't wish you could take it back, back to the start
You can't turn back time, he's gone,
And all you gotta do is keep moving on
Although you're in mine, I'm not in your head
You're different, you've changed
The old you that fell in love with me
The one that said he'd never leave, that boy's not coming back again
But that's ok, that's ok with me
I'll be moving on until then
