We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes

And the flashback starts

I'm standing there



On a balcony in summer air



See the lights

See the party, the ball gowns

I see you make your way through the crowd

And say hello, little did I know



That i was Romeo, i was throwing pebbles

And your daddy said stay away from Juliet

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go,



cause you belong with me

you could see that I'm the one who understands you

Been here all along, so why can't you see?



you belong with me,



Standing by and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know?

Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

I'm so glad you made time to see me

How's life? Tell me, how's your family?



I haven't seen them in a while



You've been good, busier than ever



we small talk, work and the weather



Your guard is up, and I know why



Because the last time you saw me

Is still burned in the back of your mind

You gave me roses, and I left them there to die



So this is me swallowing my pride

Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night



And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine



I go back to December all the time



Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city,

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.



Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.



Why you gotta be so mean?

don't you worry your pretty little mind

People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love look hard



why you gotta be so hard



The waters rough



But this love is ours

We are never ever ever getting back together,

We are never ever ever getting back together,



I knew you were trouble when you walked in



So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been



Till you put me down oh

I knew you were trouble when you walked in



So shame on me now

Flew me to places I'd never been

I'm feeling 22



Losing her was blue like I'd never known



Missing her was dark grey all alone



Forgetting her was like trying to know

somebody you've never met



But loving her was red so red



loving her was red so red



loving her was red so red



loving her was red so red
