I Hope

(Verse)

I thought I had moved on and parted you from my thoughts,

But then I saw another man wrapped around in your arms.

All the memories came flooding back,

Catching me unaware and throwing me back into the past.

A familiar pain comes going back into my heart,

One I thought I had no more part.

(Pre-chorus)

I know the Bible says to bury jealousy way down deep,

But baby that ain’t me.

(Chorus)

I hope one of my songs starts playing on the radio,

And he turns it up loud and you have nowhere to go.

I hope he sings every word of my newest love song,

And you wonder if it’s about you, only to have the words prove you wrong.

I hope you go home and cry to yourself,

Then maybe you’d know all the pain I’ve felt.

I hope your memories of me haunt you through the night,

And when he wraps his arms around you, you’d wish that they were mine.

I hope when realize it’s not me, you feel the regrets of what could’ve been,

Then you’ll know how I felt when you let it all come to an end.

(Verse)

You told and promised that I was the only man for you,

But here I stand looking at living proof.

That every word was a lie,

Every “I love you” was a veiled goodbye.

Your mind was made up long ago,

And like always, I was the last to know.

All I see is another man laying in your bed,

And all I feel is nothing but dread.

(Pre-chorus)

I know the Bible says to bury jealousy way down deep,

But baby that ain’t me.

(Chorus)

I hope one of my songs starts playing on the radio,

And he turns it up loud and you have nowhere to go.

I hope he sings every word of my newest love song,

And you wonder if it’s about you, only to have the words prove you wrong.

I hope you go home and cry to yourself,

Then maybe you’d know all the pain I’ve felt.

I hope your memories of me haunt you through the night,

And when he wraps his arms around you, you’d wish that they were mine.

I hope when realize it’s not me, you feel the regrets of what could’ve been,

Then you’ll know how I felt when you let it all come to an end.

(Bridge)

I hope you start wishing that he was me,

But only to realize that it’s a fading dream.

You realize that I’ve moved on to someone new,

And we’re doing all the things that we used to do.

I take her to our favorite parts,

Maybe then you’ll know what it’s like to have a broken heart.

(Chorus)

I hope one of my songs starts playing on the radio,

And he turns it up loud and you have nowhere to go.

I hope he sings every word of my newest love song,

And you wonder if it’s about you, only to have the words prove you wrong.

I hope you go home and cry to yourself,

Then maybe you’d know all the pain I’ve felt.

I hope your memories of me haunt you through the night,

And when he wraps his arms around you, you’d wish that they were mine.

I hope when realize it’s not me, you feel the regrets of what could’ve been,

Then you’ll know how I felt when you let it all come to an end.
