I can't believe that I was worried about hurting you
I should have kicked it with your cousin when I had the opportunity
'Cause I was at some party and she said she had to talk to me 
And then she didn't say anything
I can't believe that I worried about hurting you 
While you were banging around the bars 
Trying to scrape up something new
You left me fifty bucks and nothing much to do 
But think about getting back at you

And I heard that you've been back around the neighborhood
And you might still be strung out but you still look pretty good
I heard that kid from California turned out to be an asshole
I could have told you
You left with burning bridges but you never saw the beach
You had stars in your eyes but Modesto's not that sweet
When you only know one guy and he disappears for days at time

I can't believe that I was worried about hurting you
I should have kicked it with your cousin when I had the opportunity
'Cause I was at some party and she said she had to talk to me
She didn't say much of anything
