I would have walked through fire to kiss your lips Do you still think about it, of what you did? Still see your old apartment, like a bad trip Wish I could forget all the places we've been Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes Boy, you know how to make a girl cry Was sleeping in a bed full of lies And now that I'm older, I can see why You made me feel high 'Cause you had me so low, low, low You only seemed tall 'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you Now that I know That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope Hope Hope Hope That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope Always another bender, I lose control I thought I'd get it back when You came back home to me, darling But I never had it, did I? Your heart's a trick And all the magic we felt was just a hit Hard and heavy whiskey goodbyes Boy, you know how to make a girl cry Was sleeping in a bed full of lies And now that I'm older, I can see why You made me feel high 'Cause you had me so low, low, low You only seemed tall 'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you Now that I know (now that I know) That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope Hope Hope ('cause you had me so low) Hope (now that I know) That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope 'Cause you had me so low, low, low You only seemed tall 'Cause you stunted my grow-grow-growth I only wanted you 'cause I couldn't have you Now that I know (now that I know) That wasn't love, that wasn't love, that was just hope
