I picked the right one
You picked the wrong one
Days of confessing
Nights spent obsessing

Recently I've been walking home
And take the long way through the rain
Sit in the cafe, the cinema
I watch the people making out

I'm lost, I know it, I'm waiting for
Some kind of message, some kind of break
They say good things happen if you wait
I get the river of tears to cross

I once was a butterfly
Me and him were the golden guy
You wanna be with a lot of fun
Can you believe it all went wrong?

I picked the right one
You picked the wrong one
Days of confessing
Nights spent obsessing

Woo!

Where did all the people go? (Where did they go?)
'Cause when you break that's when you know
Who's on your side and who's with him
And all the rubbish that's in between

I didn't mean to make me cry
You took the love and let it die
There's a place where love remains
I'm gonna find it and there I'll stay
There I'm gonna stay

The little dried up streams on my face are painting a horror show
Just between myself and the mirror I am a lonely soul

Oh but I try to overcome
Oh and I'm feeling numb
I listen to my friends' advice
But it all falls flat

When I finally see her with him
That's when I know
Oh, I should let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

I need something to make this right (makin' it right)
I'm out of faith, I'm out of life
I join a lonely heart's girl band (banging the drum)
Banging the drum for a different guy

We'll listen to me wanna die
This kinda thing's just not my bag
They wanted me to be a king
They brought me up to fight and win
