[Chorus]
This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory, no happy ending
This is the way that we love, like it's forever
We'll live the rest of our lives, but not together

[Verse 1]
You know they say that love hurts, well they're right
I've had headaches and heartaches, and haven't slept in three nights
And when I see you with him, I lose my appetite
I just put on a fake smile and try to act polite
And when you text me like, "Tell me, are you doing fine?"
I'll say yeah, even though we both know that's a lie
But why? Well, I guess I'm trying
To hide the fact that you're the only person on my mind
In time, I thought that we could figure this out
Thought we'd make up for the times we would holler and shout
And no doubt, although it only lasted a while
We can look back and cherish those times with a smile, because
Our love was like a diamond on a ring
'Cause despite its imperfections, it's a beautiful thing
I see your face in the beauty of spring
And here your voice whisper to me in the sound of the strings, and the keys
And it sounds so perfect
Despite the toll it took, you were worth it (You were worth it)
But it never did work out in the end
So in case I never see you again, I just think you should know...
[Chorus]
This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory, no happy ending
This is the way that we love, like it's forever
We'll live the rest of our lives, but not together

[Verse 2]
And I'm not sad, angry, or mad
I'm all of the above, at least I have been in the past
'Cause I loved all the love that we had
And thought the love that we had would be a love that would last
But it wasn't, and so you dipped out
You were my life, how am I supposed to live now?
See what you did now?
You told me that you loved me, then a week later forgot about all of the things we did, how?
I thought that we were better than that
And you played me for a fool, thought I knew better than that
Were you ashamed that I wanted you so bad?
If that's the reason that you left, then I'm honestly glad because
Now I'm searching for my next girl
And just to find the right one I would sail around the whole world
I'll find a girl that loves me for me
And we can ride through this life and let our souls be free
And I wish that it could've been you
But sometimes you can't control the roads you choose
And we never did work out in the end
So incase I never see you again, I just think you should know...
[Chorus]
This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory, no happy ending
This is the way that we love, like it's forever
We'll live the rest of our lives, but not together

[Bridge]
And I just think you should know
This is supposed to be a happy song
Now can I get a tambourine? Huh?
That's more like it, I like that, yeah
Now where my, now where my drums at?
There they are, I found 'em
Just a little bit of love
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Just a little bit of love
Now bring my keys in
Just a little bit of love
Just a little bit of love
Just a little bit, just a little, just a little bit
Now love is a beautiful thing
Now three, two, one, strings

[Chorus]
This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory, no happy ending
This is the way that we love, like it's forever
We'll live the rest of our lives, but not together
This is the way you left me, I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory, no happy ending
