lyrics

You can take my favorite side of the bed
You can take the books that I gave you that I know you never read
You can say goodbye to good mornings and 'hello sleepy head'
I can't take back the words I swore by that you never said

I hope it feels wrong when she sits in my place
On the red leather sofa where you and I swore we'd never be this way
I miss the times of small paychecks and dreaming the biggest dreams
Your plans got to big to fit me, like we always believed

I don't love you like I used to
You never loved me at all
A big misconception
I lost my direction
I jumped but you didn't fall
No I don't love you like I used to
you couldn't say the same
I don't love you like I used to
Oh, my my, how times change

I always think of you when I hear 'Stars Go Blue'
How we danced all night in nothing but smiles in the light of the living room
It hurts me now to see how your hand holds around her waist
Like a piece in a puzzle oh, I did't fit, you never looked at me that way

I don't love you like I used to
You never loved me at all
A big misconception
I lost my direction
I jumped but you didn't fall
No I don't love you like I used to
you couldn't say the same
I don't love you like I used to
Oh, my my, how times change

You can take my favorite side of the bed
You can take the books that I gave you that I know you never read
