Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

So many fish there in the sea
I wanted you, you wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast
Didn't understand what to see
Yeah, then I got a different view
It's you, no
Wait, I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was
I said, wait, I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was, no
So many fish there in the sea
She wanted him, he wanted me
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
I was a train moving too fast
Yeah, I know you warned me
But this is too important
And now I got a different view
It's you...
Why can't you wait?
I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was
I said you, wait, I'm not gonna give it a break
I'm not your friend, I never was
