[Verse 1]
How can you say that with a straight face
When it's eight months down the line?
Please don't treat me like a stranger
Cause I've put in too much time
If we're forced to be apart
Then I'll make up some complaints
For a lifetime in the dark begins to weigh down
[Chorus]
Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
I still wanna be involved
I just can't make those mistakes
"Don't be like that" is all you have to say
[Verse 2]
That lad pins all of his luck onto that flipped up cigarette
I re-read the words you wrote
And then I scroll through my regrets
If we're forced to be apart
Then I'll make up some complaints
For a lifetime in the dark begins to weigh down
[Chorus]
Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
Back when you were blonde and I was green to your ways
I still wanna be involved
I just can't make those mistakes
"Don't be like that" is all you have to say
