[Verse 1]
I used to call just to hear you laugh
Now I dodge your name like broken glass
You got a boy and I played it cool
But my chest went tight, I felt like a fool
I sat at home with the blinds half down
Saw you both out, and I left that town
Didn’t text back, didn’t say my part
I turned my silence into a knife for my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
I was your friend
I swear I tried
But love got loud
And pride got wide
Every smile
Turned into pain
So I walked off
In the rain
[Chorus]
I ruined us, I know
I let you go, I let you go
I loved you from the start
Then I broke my own heart
I ruined us, baby
When I shut the door
You had his hand
I couldn’t ask for more
[Verse 2]
Now your messages sit like bills unpaid
Read them at night, then I look away
We used to share fries and the worst of days
Now I’m in the dark with my dumb mistakes
Your new man smiles like he won that prize
I nod my head, but I can’t hide
I’d never touch what ain’t mine to take
Still losing you felt like a slow mistake
[Pre-Chorus]
I was your friend
Then came that ring
Or maybe not
But it felt like a thing
And my old jokes
Turned hard and thin
I lost my courage
At the door I stood in
[Chorus]
I ruined us, I know
I let you go, I let you go
I loved you from the start
Then I broke my own heart
I ruined us, baby
When I shut the door
You had his hand
I couldn’t ask for more
[Bridge]
If I’d been brave
I’d have said your name
Would you still look
At me the same?
Now I got regret
Like a church bell tone
One more truth
And I’m all alone
[Chorus]
I ruined us, I know
I let you go, I let you go
I loved you from the start
Then I broke my own heart
I ruined us, baby
When I shut the door
You had his hand
I couldn’t ask for more
[Outro]
If I see you out, I’ll act okay
But I still love you in my strange old way
I made the wound
Then blamed the night
And my lonely pride
Lost that fight
