I know I said I love you
But I'm thinking I was wrong
I'm the first to admit
That I'm still pretty young
And I never meant to hurt you
When I wrote you ten love songs
That guy that I could never get
'Cause his girlfriend was pretty fit
And everyone who knew her
Loved her so
And I made you leave her for me
And now I'm feeling pretty mean
But my mind has fucked me over more times
Than any man could ever know
Maybe I should give up, give in
Give up trying to be thin
Give up and turn into my mother
God knows I love her
And I'm sorry to whichever man
Should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait
And beware
I will never love a man
'Cause love and pain go hand in hand
And I can't do it
Again
So we stayed up late one night
To try and get our problems right
But I couldn't get into his head
Just what was going through my mind
And I think he knew where I was going
'Cause he put Ryan Adams on
'Cause I think he thinks it makes me weak
But it only ever makes me strong
I've got this friend who sounds just like him
Now he's the man I leave you for
The man that I just adore
Like you
The same man, he turns to me
He said "I've got to tell you how I feel
If God could make the perfect girl for me
It would be you
And my God told me not to tell about
How much do you love your fella?"
I don't know more everyday
Not in this new romantic way
I'll always be your first love
You'll always be my first love
And I'm sorry to whichever man
Should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait
And beware
That I will never love a man
'Cause I could never hurt a man in this way
I will never love a man
'Cause I could never hurt a man
Not in this new romantic way
