Guess I was Right

(Verse 1)
My first love was the boy on a poster on my wall,
Singing through the speakers like he knew my every flaw.
I swore one day I’d marry him—
Yeah, I was twelve and delusional, but God, that dream felt soft.

(Verse 2)
My second love was middle school,
Writing notes in sloppy cursive.
Passing hearts in hallways,
Thinking we were something perfect.
We broke up at lunch
Like it was the end of the world—
Funny how dramatic you are
When you’re just a kid, a girl.

(Pre-Chorus)
Then life kept moving,
And so did the names…
But every one of them
Left a little rearranged.

(Chorus)
My third love was the high school quarterback,
Thought he’d be forever—
Looking back, that’s kind of sad.
And the last one I thought would be you…
Guess I was right,
Just not in the way I wanted you to.
You’re the lesson, the bruise,
The truth I had to walk through.
Yeah… the last one I thought would be you—
Guess I was right.

(Verse 3)
You came in like a movie scene,
Soft smile, easy charm.
And I let my guard down
Like you wouldn’t do me harm.
Silly me, romantic me,
Thinking lightning struck twice…
Didn’t know the storm you were
Till I paid the damn price.

(Bridge)
But heartbreak has a funny way
Of shining what you couldn’t see—
I lost you, but somehow
Found a better version of me.
So thanks, I guess,
For being the almost that fell through—
You were never the love story…
Just the chapter I outgrew.

(Chorus)
My third love was the high school quarterback,
Thought he’d be forever—
Looking back, that’s kind of sad.
And the last one I thought would be you…
Guess I was right,
Just not in the way I wanted you to.
You’re the lesson, the bruise,
The truth I had to walk through.
Yeah… the last one I thought would be you—
Guess I was right.

(Outro)
Maybe someday love won’t hurt,
Maybe someday it’ll stay.
But losing you taught me something—
I deserve someone who won’t walk away.
So here’s to first loves,
And the ones I once fell into…
And here’s to the last love—
Who sure as hell won’t be you.
