[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint you true
But nobody will know that
[Verse 1]
I think I could have been kinder
But I could have been colder
When I was trying to love you
I cut myself on your shoulders
And I remember kissing collarbones
And counting all your freckles
And I remember kissing pictures
And counting all our smiles
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not love if it was just pretend
That’s why this doesn’t count as giving in
[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint you true
But nobody will know that
[Verse 2]
Your hand in my back pocket
That’s where you said you’d leave it
And I, walked away feeling high
But then you removed it
And I got to thinking
Maybe that was just another lie
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not love if it was just pretend
That’s why this doesn’t count as giving in
[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint you true
But nobody will know that
[Verse 3]
So now we’re worse than strangers
Cause we never knew better
I’m not the one who did you wrong
You broke my heart first
So don’t hate me
Cause I dragged yours through the dirt
Maybe I was too insecure
Always thinking of you
Thinking of her
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe it’s love cause it wasn’t pretend
So maybe I was wrong and now I’m giving in
[Chorus]
I wrote a song about you
It’s not a love song
It doesn’t paint us true
But nobody will know that
But nobody will know that
[Outro]
Oh this song’s for you
And everybody knows that
