Remember when you said that there's no second chance?
Oh baby, I heard you been hoping you could change the past
You miss the longer nights 
You miss the long goodbyes
You miss the longer nights (yep, yep, yep, yep, yep)

Well did you ever think that it was hard for me?
Do I get off like nothing happened, nonchalantly?
I got you feeling like 
I got you feeling right
I got you feeling like (yep, yep, yep, yep, yep)

That's my shape, I made the shadow
That's my name, don't wear it out though
Feeling myself can't be illegal, illegal

So sue me for looking so pretty tonight
Wearing your favorite color under the lights
For moving on, doing everything right

So sue me for being good friends with your friends
And running into you at the place that we met
For being something you can't forget
So sue me (go)

It's hard to see me on when you've been off as hell
But I'm not gonna throw myself because you adore yourself
I know it's hard to see 
What you don't want to see 
I know it's hard to see (yep, yep, yep, yep, yep)

That's my shape, I made the shadow
That's my name, don't wear it out though
Feeling myself can't be illegal, illegal

So sue me for looking so pretty tonight
Wearing your favorite color under the lights
For moving on, doing everything right

So sue me for being good friends with your friends
And running into you at the place that we met
For being something you can't forget
So sue me

Oh, I, I, I guess I'm hard to ignore
Pick up that jaw off the floor

So sue me for looking so pretty tonight
Wearing your favorite color under the lights
For moving on, doing everything right

So sue me for being good friends with your friends
(With your friends, yeah yeah yeah)
And running into you at the place that we met
(The place that we met)
For being something you can't forget
(You can't forget, no)
So sue me

Sue me, baby
