We were both young when I first saw you I close my eyes and the flashback starts I’m standin’ there On a balcony in summer air See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns See you make your way through the crowd And say, “Hello” Little did I know
That I was Romeo, I was throwin’ pebbles And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet” And I was cryin’ on the staircase Beggin’ you, “Please don’t go” ‘Cause you belong with me
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can’t you see You belong with me Standin’ by and waitin’ at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby You belong with me You belong with me
I’m so glad you made time to see me How’s life, tell me how’s your family? I haven’t seen them in a while You’ve been good, busier then ever We small talk, work and the weather Your guard is up and I know why
Because the last time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mind You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying I’m sorry for that night And I go back to December all the time It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you Wishing I’d realized what I had when you were mine I go back to December all the time
Someday I’ll be living in a big old city And all you’re ever gonna be is mean Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me And all you’re ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?
So don’t you worry your pretty little mind People throw rocks at things that shine And life makes love look hard Why you gotta be so mean? The stakes are high, the waters rough But this love is ours We are never ever, ever getting back together This love is ours We are never ever, ever getting back together This love is ours
‘Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in (We are never getting back together) Shame on me now Flew me to places I’d never been I knew you were trouble when you walked in (We are never getting back together) Shame on me now Flew me to places I’d never been I’m feeling 22 (2, 2, 2)
Losing her was blue like I’d never known Missing her was dark grey all along Forgetting her is like trying to know somebody you never met Loving her was red, so red Loving her was red, so red Loving her was red, so red Loving her was red, so red Loving her was red, so red Loving her was red, so red
