Found myself at your door Just like all those times before I'm not sure how I got there All roads they lead me here
I imagine you are home In your room, all alone And you open your eyes into mine And everything feels better
Right before your eyes I'm breaking, no past No reasons why Just you and me
This is the last time I'm asking you this Put my name at the top of your list This is the last time I'm asking you why You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye
You find yourself at my door Just like all those times before You wear your best apology But I was there to watch you leave
And all the times I let you in Just for you to go again Disappear when you come back Everything is better
When right before your eyes I'm aching, no past Nowhere to hide Just you and me
This is the last time I'm asking you this Put my name at the top of your list This is the last time I'm asking you why You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye
This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong This is the last time I say it's been you all along This is the last time I let you in my door This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore
Oh, oh, oh

I would be complex, I would be cool They'd say I played the field Before I found someone to commit to And that would be okay for me to do Every conquest I had made Would make me more of a boss to you
I'd be a fearless leader I'd be an alpha type When everyone believes ya What's that like?
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man I'd be the man I'd be the man
They'd say I hustled, put in the work They wouldn't shake their heads And question how much of this I deserve What I was wearing, if I was rude Could all be separated from my good ideas And power moves
And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play I'd be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man I'd be the man I'd be the man
What's it like to brag about raking in dollars And getting bitches and models? And it's all good if you're bad And it's okay if you're mad If I was out flashing my dollars I'd be a bitch, not a baller They'd paint me out to be bad So, it's okay that I'm mad
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man (You know that) And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again) 'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man) Then I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man) I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (As fast as I can) Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (Hey) And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again) 'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man) Then I'd be the man I'd be the man I'd be the man (Oh) I'd be the man (Yeah) I'd be the man (I'd be the man)
If I was a man, then I'd be the man
You should've been there, Should've burst through the door, With that 'baby I'm right here' smile, And it would've felt like, A million little shining stars had just aligned, And I would've been so happy.
Christmas lights glisten, I've got my eye on the door, Just waiting for you to walk in, But the time is ticking, People ask me how I've been As I come back through my memory, How you said you'd be here, You said you'd be here.
And it was like slow motion, Standing there in my party dress, In red lipstick, With no-one to impress, And they're all laughing, As I'm looking around the room, But there's one thing missing, And that was the moment I knew.
And the hours pass by, Now I just wanna be alone, But your close friends always seem to know When there's something really wrong, So they follow me down the hall, And there in the bathroom, I try not to fall apart, And the sinking feeling starts, As I say hopelessly, "he said he'd be here."
And it was like slow motion, Standing there in my party dress, In red lipstick, With no-one to impress, And they're all laughing, And asking me about you, But there's one thing missing, And that was the moment I knew.
What do you say When tears are streaming down your face, In front of everyone you know? And what do you do When the one who means the most to you, Is the one who didn't show?
You should've been here. And I would've been so happy.
And it was like slow motion, Standing there in my party dress, In red lipstick, With no-one to impress, And they're all standing around me singing, Happy birthday to you, But there's one thing missing, And that was the moment I knew.
Ooh, I knew.
You call me later, And say I'm sorry I didn't make it. And I say I'm sorry too, And that was the moment I knew.
You should've been there Should've burst through the door With that "Baby, I'm right here" smile And it would've felt like A million little shining stars had just aligned And I would've been so happy
Christmas lights glisten I've got my eye on the door Just waiting for you to walk in But the time is ticking People ask me how I've been As I comb back through my memory How you said you'd be here You said you'd be here
And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress In red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all laughing As I'm looking around the room But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew
And the hours pass by Now I just wanna be alone But your close friends always seem to know When there's something really wrong So they follow me down the hall And there in the bathroom I try not to fall apart And the sinking feeling starts As I say hopelessly "He said he'd be here"
And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress In red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all laughing And asking me about you But there was one thing missing (Missing) And that was the moment I knew
What do you say When tears are streaming down your face In front of everyone you know? And what do you do When the one who means the most to you Is the one who didn't show?
You should've been here And I would've been so happy
And it was like slow motion Standing there in my party dress In red lipstick With no one to impress And they're all standing around me, singing "Happy birthday to you" But there was one thing missing And that was the moment I knew Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I knew Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You called me later And said, "I'm sorry I didn't make it" And I said, "I'm sorry, too" And that was the moment I knew
In the heat of the a fight I walked away. Ignoring words that you were saying, Trying make me stay. I said, "this time I've had enough." And you've called a hundred times, But I'm not pickin' up. 'cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over. But if you look a little closer
I said, "leave," But all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles; Screaming, "I'm in love with you." Wait there in the pourin' rain, Come back for more. And don't you leave, 'cause I know all I need Is on the other side of the door.
Me and my stupid pride Sittin' here, alone. Going through the photographs, Staring at the phone. I keep going back over Things we both said. And I remember the slammin' door, And all the things that I misread. Baby you know everything, Tell me why you couldn't see That when I left, I wanted you to Chase after me?
I said, "leave," But all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles; Screaming, "I'm in love with you." Wait there in the pourin' rain, Come back for more. And don't you leave, 'cause I know all I need Is on the other side of the door.
And I scream out the window, "I can't even look at you, I don't need you," But I do, I do, I do. I'll say there's nothing you can say To make right again, I mean it, I mean it What I mean is
I said, "leave," But baby all I want is you To stand outside my window, throwing pebbles; Screaming, "I'm in love with you." Wait there in the pourin' rain, Come back for more. And don't you leave, 'cause I know all I need Is on the other side of the door.
With your face, and your beautiful eyes, And the conversation, With the little white lies. And the faded picture Of a beautiful night You carry me from your car Up the stairs And I'm broke down cryin' Was she worth this mess, After everything in that little black dress After everything, I must confess, I need you
In the heat of the fight I walked away Ignorin' words that you were sayin' Tryna make me stay I said, "This time I've had enough" And you've called a hundred times But I'm not picking up
'Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over But if you look a little closer
I said, "Leave, " but all I really want is you To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door
Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone I keep goin' back over things we both said And I remember the slamming door And all the things that I misread
Oh, babe, if you know everything Tell me why you couldn't see When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah
I said, "Leave, " but all I really want is you To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door
And I'll scream out the window I can't even look at you I don't need you but I do, I do, I do I say, "There's nothing you can say To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it" But what I mean is
I said, "Leave, " but, baby, all I want is you To stand outside my window throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door
With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you
I didn't know what I would find When I went looking for a reason, I know I didn't read between the lines And, baby, I've got nowhere to go I tried to take the road less traveled by But nothing seems to work the first few times Am I right?
(chorus) So how can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in I can still see you, this ain't the best view On the outside looking in I've been a lot of lonely places I've never been on the outside
You saw me there, but never knew I would give it all up to be A part of this, a part of you And now it's all too late so you see You could've helped if you have wanted to But no one notices until it's too Late to do anything
(chorus) So how can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in I can still see you, this ain't the best view On the outside looking in I've been a lot of lonely places I've never been on the outside
How can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in And I can still see you, this ain't the best view On the outside looking in I've been a lot of lonely places I've never been on the outside
Oh oh oh Oh oh Oh oh
If I could escape I would but, first of all, Let me say I must apologize for acting stank and treating you this way Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?
If I could escape and recreate a place thats my own world And I could be your favorite girl (forever) Perfectly together Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape) If I could be sweet I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change) I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever) We can make it better Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
You held me down, I'm at my lowest boiling point Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around Instead of clowning around, lets look for some common ground So baby, times get a little crazy, I've been gettin' A little lazy Waitin' on you to come save me I can see that your angry by the way that you treat me Hopefully you don't leave me, wanted you with me
If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own world And I could be your favorite girl (forever) Perfectly together And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape) If I could be sweet (sorry boy) I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change) I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever) We can make it better And tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
I wish I could fly I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time I'd write this in the sky I miss you like it was the very first night
And so it goes Every weekend the same party I never go alone And I don't seem broken hearted My friends all say they know Everything I'm going through I drive down different roads But they all lead back to you 'Cause they don't know about the night in the hotel They weren't riding in the car when we both fell Didn't read the note on the Polaroid picture They don't know how much I miss you
I wish I could fly I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time I write this in the sky I miss you like it was the very first night
And so it was We never saw it coming Not trying to fall in love But we did like children running Back then we didn't know We were built to fall apart We broke the status quo Then we broke each other's hearts But don't forget about the night out in L. A Dance in the kitchen, chase me down through the hallway No one knows about the words that we whisper No one knows how much I miss you
