they told me
"that boy just adores you
look at his eyes,
the way they follow you around the room,"

that boy just adores you

"don't break his heart,"
they told me
"that boy wants you and only you
and that's something not a lot of girls get."

don't break his heart

"don't waste your chance,"
they warned me
he's beautiful and perfect and out of your league

don't waste your chance

"i'm broken,"
he told me
and stood by for me to fix him
but i still had to fix me too

i'm broken

he told me
"i love you ashlynn
with all i have in me
you're everything i've ever wanted,"

i love you

"don't give up on me,"
he begged me
as our hearts bled out
into the sea, yet still i turned away

don't give up on me

how selfish was i
to turn back and say
"don't forget about me"
and then disappear into the sunrise

don't forget about me

i guess i'll be the bad guy now
i suppose that's all i ever was
