Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let's just forget everything said

And everything we did

Best friends (Best friends), and better halves

Goodbyes (Goodbyes)

The autumn nights when we realized

We were falling out of love

[Instrumental]

Not to be (Not to be) overly

Dramatic

I just think it's best

'Cause you can't miss what you forget

So, let's just pretend

Everything and anything

Between you and me

Was never

Was never

Was never meant

Meant

Meant

[Outro]

(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)

(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)

(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)

(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)

(There were some things that were said that weren't meant)

(There were some things that were said—)
