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 my 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

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

A 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
