Verse 1
You said you finally let them go
Said you were done looking back
Like all the pieces that were broken
Like you have finally found your place
You talked about the future
Like it was something you could see
And every time you looked at me
You made it easy to believe
Pre-Chorus
You held me like you meant it
Like you were really here
So why was I the one you chose
When your heart was still somewhere near?
Chorus
Why did you give me hope
If you couldn't give me more?
Why did you open up that door
If you knew what i was waiting for ?
Why didn't you tell me
You were still holding onto them?
I would've guarded my heart better
We could've just been friends
Verse 2
I remember how you'd disappear
Any time they needed you
And I'd tell myself it was nothing
Just something people do
But looking back I see it now
You were never fully gone
Part of you was still reaching back
While I was trying to hold on
Pre-Chorus
And maybe you believed it too
Maybe you wanted it to end
But wanting isn't always enough
To love somebody new again
Chorus
Why did you give me hope
If you couldn't give me more?
Why did you open up that door
If you knew what i was waiting for ?
Why didn't you tell me
You were still holding onto them?
I would've guarded my heart better
We could've just been friends
Bridge
The truth would've hurt
But not like this
Not after all the plans
And all the nights like this
Final Chorus
Why did you give me hope
If you couldn't give it all?
Why did you make it feel like us
If your heart wasent mine at all?
Why didn't you care to tell me
Before I let you in?
Maybe I'd still have a piece of me
If we'd just been friends
If we'd just
been friends
