lyrics

Didn’t have to pretend to forget to call
I didn’t think of you at all
It’s a wonder you think of me

Maybe this time I’m finally done obsessing
And done with the second guessing
Everything you said to me

But i didn’t mean to be mean
To be mean to you
But i guess you just bring
Out the worst in me don’t you

I guess I’d just rather dance with strangers
Than talk to you
When I said i’d give you just one more chance
Well I guess I’ll have to break my word like you always do

We were no good for each other
Always just pressing buttons
Fighting until we scream
No more waiting it out in our corners
Counting on disappointments
Wondering what it means

That i didn’t mean to be mean
To be mean to you
But i guess you just bring
Out the worst in me don’t you

I guess I’d just rather dance with strangers
Than talk to you
When I said i’d give you just one more chance
Well I guess I’d rather dance with strangers
I’d rather dance with a stranger
Than talk to you
When i said i’d give you just one more chance
Well I guess I’d rather dance with a stranger than talk to you
