We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That i was Romeo, i was throwing pebbles
And your daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go,
cause you belong with me
you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
you belong with me,
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
we small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December all the time
Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?
don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
why you gotta be so hard
The waters rough
But this love is ours
We are never ever ever getting back together,
We are never ever ever getting back together,
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
I'm feeling 22
Losing her was blue like I'd never known
Missing her was dark grey all alone
Forgetting her was like trying to know
somebody you've never met
But loving her was red so red
loving her was red so red
loving her was red so red
loving her was red so red
