You mixed me up for someone Who'd fall apart without you Yeah you broke my heart for the first time But I'll get over that too It's hard to find the reasons Who can see the rhyme? I guess that we where seasons out of time I guess you didn't know me If you think love is blind That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines Surprised that I caught you out On every single time that you lied Did you think that every time I see you I would cry No not me, not I, not I, no not me, not I The story goes on without you And there's got to be another ending But yeah you broke my heart it won't be the last time But I'll get over them too As a new door opens we close the ones behind And if you search your soul I know you'll find You never really knew me If you think love is blind That I wouldn't see the flaws between the lines Surprised that I caught you out On every single time that you lied Did you think that every time I see you I would cry No not me, not I, not I, not I, not I All you said to me All you promised me All the mystery never did believe No I never cry no I never not me not I If you think love is blind That I wouldn't see the floors between the lines Surprised that I caught you out On every single time that you lied Did you think that every time I see you I would cry No not I, I won't cry No not me, not I, not I
