WISH YOU NEVER MET ME

“WISH YOU NEVER MET ME”

You tell your friends I’m hard to forget,

Then tell yourself you don’t regret it.

You moved on fast, at least online,

But your new life still sounds like mine.

Every little joke, every little phrase,

Funny how they found their way.

You can paint me as the bad guy,

But you still know every line.

⸻

You keep saying

You don’t care…

So why am I

Still everywhere?

⸻

I bet you wish you never met me.

Wish my name never crossed your lips.

Wish we never stayed out too late,

Never made those promises.

I bet you wish you never met me,

‘Cause moving on ain’t going clean.

You can hate me all you want…

But you’ll remember me.

⸻

I don’t need another apology,

Don’t need another “how’ve you been?”

Some doors close without a sound,

Some memories just sneak back in.

Everybody says time heals,

Maybe that’s true.

But every time my song comes on…

It heals me before it heals you.

⸻

Some people leave.

Some people stay.

Some people spend forever

Trying to forget your face.

⸻

I bet you wish you never met me.

I know that’s hard to admit.

Maybe I was your biggest mistake…

Maybe I was your favorite risk.

I bet you wish you never met me.

Still…

Here we are.

⸻

If you ever hear this…

Don’t skip it.
