Remember when you said we'd run away And that you'd love me 'till your dying day Rumors started you had someone due I just laughed 'cause that was all I could do There was me in love all on my own 10 years if only I had known So you thought you'd come on back to me I am not the girl that I used to be 'Cause you, you weren't the one for me I can't go back, back to just you and me 'Cause I could never lie, something inside just died It was you How does it feel to be so untrue? And there's nothing even you can do All those years of lying to yourself I think you'll find that you're back on the shelf now So I hid behind my smile Lost in thought just for a while Then one day I walked away No, you never loved me anyway 'Cause you, you weren't the one for me I can't go back, back to just you and me 'Cause I could never lie, something inside just died It was you Don't come running back to me And don't come running back to me Don't come running back to me Don't come running back to me 'Cause you, you weren't the one for me I can't go back, back to just you and me 'Cause I could never lie It was you, you weren't the one for me 'Cause I could never lie, something inside just died It was you
