Lyrics
I've thought about this one too much
I know you know it
I wish you would explain to me
Why you put me through this
So soon, so sad
I guess it was just a laugh
So serious, so sad, so soon
I just left you
I left your hotel
I feel like hell
For everything you put me through
So soon, so sad
I guess it was just a laugh
I know I crowded you
Made you so uncomfortable
I wish I had control
And started out more casual
So soon, so sad
I guess it was just a laugh
