lyrics

We were lovers by happenstance
We were lovers that didn't last
The ending came so fast

Before I knew it, you'd moved on
Took my love and let me down
You know the lion caught the lamb

I suppose I deserve it 2x

We were lovers who never laughed
We were covered in our pasts
And somehow we found out

Before you knew it, I'd moved on
I took your love, I let you down
All my letters, the same sound

I suppose you deserve it 4x

Now that it's come to this
The distance is hard to miss

Before we knew it, we'd moved on
We'd tasted love, it let us down
Call us bitter, call us sad

I suppose we deserve it 4x
