Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let me set you the scene
November, circa 2019
Put a hole in my heart, watched it bleed
You said that we were better off as strangers
I was barely alive
Out of six feet deep, I was five
Pretty sure they called a hearse outside
Okay, that's dramatic but I survived, then I survived
[Chorus]
The "Hey, Meg, I think I want you back
I'm a couple drinks in, thinking it's my bad
That I let you walk away and let you go"
It's a tale as old as time, I guess
When you couldn't care more, I couldn't care less
You're a little too late to the party, heartbreaker
What doesn't kill you, calls you six months later
[Verse 2]
Oh, how the turns have tabled
All the sudden, now you're willing and able
Little therapy, now you're so stable
Okay, well, your next girlfriend will be so lucky
[Chorus]
To not hear "Hey, Meg, I think I want you back
I'm a couple drinks in, thinking it's my bad
That I let you walk away and let you go"
It's a tale as old as time, I guess
When you couldn't care more, I couldn't care less
You're a little too late to the party, heartbreaker
What doesn't kill you, calls you six months later
[Bridge]
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger
And blonder and hotter
Makes you wonder what you even saw in him at all
What doesn't kill you, always calls
[Chorus]
With a "Hey, Meg, I think I want you back
I'm a couple drinks in, thinking it's my bad
That I let you walk away and let you go"
It's a tale as old as time, I guess
When you couldn't care more, I couldn't care less
You're a little too late to the party, heartbreaker
What doesn't kill you, calls you six months later
