That boy was perfect on paper He was one handsome heartbreaker He was some fine arm candy with a one track mind
He always said he adored you But somebody should have warned you He had a sick sweet tooth and a wandering eye
And I'm sure he'd apologize if he were here tonight
But somebody told me That he got so lonely After you left Stayed in bed For a whole week Crying and thinking 'Bout dying and drinking And how if you'd stayed He'd'a changed in a heartbeat But now he's gone and good riddance So don't waste a minute Get livin' and love like you're free Forget that fool, 'cause baby That was the old me
The way you move to this music You want to leave him and lose it You feel his memory fade as the sun goes down He was a total disaster So leave the past in the past We'd have our right foot forward if we left right now
If he were here he'd be begging you to please don't go And I can tell 'cause I knew him well not too long ago
And somebody told me That he got so lonely After you left Stayed in bed For a whole week Crying and thinking 'Bout dying and drinking And tryin' not to lose Your perfume from his bedsheets But now he's gone and good riddance So don't waste a minute Just stay for a bit and you'll see Forget that fool, 'cause baby That was the old me
And ain't it a shame That if he'd say that he's changed You'd just say it's just another lame cliche
'Cause somebody told me That he got so lonely After you left Stayed in bed For a whole week Crying and thinking 'Bout dying and drinking And writing you dozens of texts that you won't read But now he's gone and good riddance So don't waste a minute On Jekyll and Hyde and go seek Forget that fool, 'cause baby That was the old me
