X-Girl Friend

When I first met you I admit I didn't know less
About what love really was so I just guessed
I kept my mouth shut while my feelings for you flew
And even though I feel bad I think you did it too
In my defense I think I only sped up destiny
Who knew who both of us were and knew we weren't meant to be
Because in the middle a good friend turned into something more
And my object of affection wasn't the same as before
A year and three months you were a part of my life
But as I turned to leave you stabbed me with a knife
You told me that you could never love me anyway
You loved someone else the whole time, what could I say?
I tried to get those awful words out of my head
But every day they come back and bite me instead
Isn't it ironic that neither one of us cared enough
About the other to admit that we weren't in love
The only difference is I lied to keep you at peace
And you lied because you didn't care about me in the least
I wish I could tell you all the times I wanted out
But that is not what this song was written about
I'm letting you know that I regretted everything
I lied about because only sorrow did it bring
But if I had the chance to do it all the same way again
I would because I know how this story finally ends
Now I've got a girl who is perfect in every sense of the word
And if in the future we part I'll never regret being with her
Which is more than what I can say about our relationship
But that's what I get for keeping a stiff upper lip
If there is a moral in the story it must be this
Don't ever use the word "love" until you know what it is
