I heard your name before I saw youWhispered underneath the gymlightsSomeone said you’d been with herAnd I laughed like they had it wrongBut then I saw the way you looked awayAnd suddenly I knew There are some truths you can’toutrunNo matter how much I wanted toYou said it didn’t mean a thingBut that’s an easy thing to say When you’re not the one who spent the nightWondering what you gave awaySo don’t come knocking at my doorWith your sorry in your hands Don’t tell me that you missed me Like I’m supposed to understand You were the one who broke the silenceYou were the one who crossed the lineAnd I loved you enough to hate youFor making me cryMaybe I’ll forgive you someday Maybe I’ll even let you stay But you don’t get to decide that You don’t get to walk away I remember summer evenings When you’d meet me by the stairs You’d make me laugh until I couldn’t And I thought that you cared Maybe I mistook your silence For a promise you had madeMaybe I was just a girlWho believed you’d never changeNow everybody has an answerEverybody knows the truthBut nobody knows what it feels likeTo have your heart torn in two And I don't want revenge I don't want to make you hurt I just wish you’d understood What your choices were worth You can stand outside my window You can say you were afraid But being scared doesn't excuse youFor the choices that you made So don’t come knocking at my door With your sorry in your hands Don’t tell me that you missed me Like I’m supposed to understand You were the one who broke the silenceYou were the one who crossed the line And I loved you enough to hate you For making me cryMaybe I’ll forgive you somedayMaybe I’ll even let you stayBut you don’t get to decide that You don’t get to walk away And if you’re standing on my porch Thinking I’ll run into your arms You should know I’m not the same girlWho believed in all your charms I still remember how you held me I still remember every word And maybe that’s the hardest part I still love you, and it hurts So tell me why I should believe you Tell me why this time is different Tell me why you finally understand What you almost lost Because I won't be your second choiceI won't be someone you regretIf you want me back, then prove itDon't just say it yet You can come knocking at my door When you're ready to be honest When you're ready to admit That you were careless with my heartI won't promise I'll forgive you I won't promise I'll forget But if you love me like you say you doMaybe we aren't finished yet And I'll meet you by the gardenWhere we used to talk at nightYou can tell me what you're sorry forAnd I'll tell you if you're rightBecause love isn't just a feelingIt's the choices that you makeAnd if you want me beside youYou'll have to earn the chance tostaySo don't call me your almostDon't call me your regretIf you want to be with BettyThen show me you won't forgetThat my heart isn't a gameAnd I'm not the girl you leftMaybe someday I'll forgive you But tonight,I'm choosing myself.
Lyrics
[verse]
I heard your name before I saw you
Whispered underneath the gymlights
Someone said you’d been with her
And I laughed like they had it wrong
But then I saw the way you looked away
And suddenly I knew
[verse]
There are some truths you can’t outrun
No matter how much I wanted to
You said it didn’t mean a thing
But that’s an easy thing to say
When you’re not the one who spent the night
Wondering what you gave away
[chorus]
So don’t come knocking at my door
With your sorry in your hands
Don’t tell me that you missed me
Like I’m supposed to understand
You were the one who broke the silence
You were the one who crossed the line
And I loved you enough to hate you
For making me cry
Maybe I’ll forgive you someday
Maybe I’ll even let you stay
But you don’t get to decide that
You don’t get to walk away
[break]
[verse]
I remember summer evenings
When you’d meet me by the stairs
You’d make me laugh until I couldn’t
And I thought that you cared
Maybe I mistook your silence
For a promise you had made
Maybe I was just a girl
Who believed you’d never change
[chorus]
So don’t come knocking at my door
With your sorry in your hands
Don’t tell me that you missed me
Like I’m supposed to understand
You were the one who broke the silence
You were the one who crossed the line
And I loved you enough to hate you
For making me cry
Maybe I’ll forgive you someday
Maybe I’ll even let you stay
But you don’t get to decide that
You don’t get to walk away
[bridge]
And if you’re standing on my porch
Thinking I’ll run into your arms
You should know I’m not the same girl
Who believed in all your charms
I still remember how you held me
I still remember every word
And maybe that’s the hardest part
I still love you, and it hurts
[chorus]
You can come knocking at my door
When you're ready to be honest
When you're ready to admit
That you were careless with my heart
I won't promise I'll forgive you
I won't promise I'll forget
But if you love me like you say you do
Maybe we aren't finished yet
[outro]
And I'll meet you by the garden
Where we used to talk at night
You can tell me what you're sorry for
And I'll tell you if you're right
Because love isn't just a feeling
It's the choices that you make
And if you want me beside you
You'll have to earn the chance to stay
So don't call me your almost
Don't call me your regret
If you want to be with Betty
Then show me you won't forget
That my heart isn't a game
And I'm not the girl you left
Maybe someday I'll forgive you
But tonight, I'm choosing myself
