Dear Maryanne
I’ll never
Hold you back
I couldn’t
If I wanted
I’ll be that boy back home
That you don’t call no more
Cause you’re out with your friends
The cool ones from your job
I knew that leaving this
Would have a consequence
I think that it did
I hope you’re killing it
And every day I tell myself
You’re better off with someone else
And that could have been me
If I had just stepped up
And every day I tell myself
You’re better off with someone else
And that could have been me
If I had just stepped up
And every day I tell myself
You’re better off with someone else
It took me 12 whole months just to grow up a little bit
(Took me 12 whole months, took me 12 whole months)
I’ll never
Hold you back
I couldn’t
If I wanted
I’ll be that boy back home (and every day)
That you don’t call no more (I tell myself)
Cause you’re out with your friends (you’re better off)
The cool ones from your job (with someone else)
I knew that leaving this (and every day)
Would have a consequence (I tell myself)
I think that it did (you’re better off)
I hope you’re killing it (I hope you’re killing it)
