Verse 1
You said you were finally moving on
Said the worst was in the past
Like you found a way to stop the hurt
Like this time it might actually last
You talked about forever
Like it wasn't just a word
And every promise that you made
Was something I believed I heard
Pre-Chorus
You looked at me like I was different
Like I was someone you could choose
So how was I supposed to know
You still had one foot in those old shoes?
Chorus
Why did you pull me closer
If you were gonna let me go?
Why did you build a future
You already knew you'd never hold?
Why didn't you tell me
Your heart was still with them?
Maybe I would've hurt a little less
If we'd just been friends
Verse 2
Every time they called your phone
I watched your whole world change
You'd say it didn't mean a thing
But it never felt that way
And I kept giving everything
Thinking love could make you stay
Never knew I was competing
With a memory every day
Pre-Chorus
Maybe you wanted to move on
Maybe you tried your best
But part of you was still with them
While I was giving you what's left
Chorus
Why did you pull me closer
If you were gonna let me go?
Why did you build a future
You already knew you'd never hold?
Why didn't you tell me
Your heart was still with them?
Maybe I would've hurt a little less
If we'd just been friends
Bridge
The hardest part's not losing you
It's knowing I never had a chance
You were still standing in yesterday
While I was making future plans
Why did you pull me closer
If you were gonna let me go?
Oooh
Final Chorus
Why did you pull me closer
If you were gonna let me go?
Why did you build a future
You already knew you'd never hold?
Why didn't you tell me
Your heart was still with them?
Maybe I would've hurt a little less
If we'd just been friends
Outro
Why didn't you tell me
(Why didn't you tell me)
we'd could have
just been friends
