lyrics

I've seen you be 100 different girls before your 17th,
And it's hard to believe when you're wearin' lies on your sleeve.
It's hard to believe. I guess a couple of those girls meant something to me. I guess a couple of those girls meant something to me.

And the singer's singing a song about loving those girls that I know,
and I guess that's makin' me feel alone.
But that's the thing about being back home, and boy am I glad to go. I was so glad to leave that road.

I've seen you be 100 different boys before you were 23,
you spend too much time together to see the irony.
I only fall for people I can't fix, and I don't mean there's something wrong with you, but I've been in love with you since I was 17,
you were the sun and moon to me, and I've been in love with you since I was 17.

I hate the people I've seen you be,
and I hate the people you've meant to me.
I hate the electric city and what it's done to me.
This one's for you so I hope you're listening.
This one's for you so please stop pretending.
