I should've known
You need validation from people that hurt you
For any consolation, you know I'd never hurt you
Is that why you don't need it from me?
I should've guessed
That something was strange when you told me you moved on from him in a day
But that was a lie, like when you said that we're meant to be
I would never lose you if I had the option
Why did I think it was passionate, the way we dealt with conflict? (Ah-ah)
Why'd I not trust the feeling that was always in my stomach?
It wasn't love, you sure as hell convinced me it was
But that wasn't love
It couldn't have been love
I shouldn't have fought as hard as I did
To be with someone who wouldn't fight for me a little bit
And I cried the day I found out your love songs weren't about me
You would never choose me when you had the option
Why did I think it was passionate, the way we dealt with conflict? (Ah-ah)
Why'd I not trust the feeling that was always in my stomach?
It wasn't love, you sure as hell convinced me it was
But that wasn't love, it couldn't have been love
It wasn't love
Wasn't love
It wasn't love
Wasn't love
My mom said she'd kiss my head now if she could
She told me her first love didn't treat her good
But she's glad it happened
'Cause otherwise, she wouldn't have me
