lyrics

I miss your scars
I miss your lonely heart
The way you pressed yours into mine
But that was then
Long before you began asking me to mend your lonely heart
I saw you up in our old hood late last night
You were coming down from god knows what
But what could I say?
What could I do?
You were hanging off the arm of some young fool

And honestly I wouldn't have it any other way
So I kept my words
And so you came and went
And honestly I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause you look happy now and you weren't happy then

I guess those were some of the great years of our lives
Five for me but just three for you
And that's on the heavy side where I know you don't reside
Oh, my darling, what could I do?

Oh, my baby but honestly I wouldn't have it any other way
So I kept my words
That's why you came and went
And honestly I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause you look happy now and you weren't happy then
You look happy now and you weren't happy then

Grabbing at straws with nothing but claws and hair in your eyes
I know I've got nothing to say

And honestly I wouldn't have it any other way
So I ate my words
Watched as you came and went
And honestly I wouldn't have it any other way
'Cause you look happy now and you weren't happy then
Yeah you look happy now and you weren't happy then
You look happy now and you weren't happy then
