V1:
Didn't always feel that way
Just friends in the early days
But like a shift in the tides
Saw you in a new light
Those feelings started growin'
Wish I'd never made them known
Stopped playing fair
Once they were out in the air
Chorus
Never said you had to love me back
But why did you have to play me like that
Know you did me wrong
The way you strung me along
Used my feelings as a weapon
When I started to detect it
Let my heart get over excited
For a love unrequited
V2:
Later said you wanted to want it
But your soul was haunted
The thoughts in your head
Colored a slight red
But said yes anyway
Though you didn't feel the same
Said the things I wanted to hear
So you could keep me near
Chorus
Never said you had to love me back
But why did you have to play me like that
Know you did me wrong
The way you strung me along
Used my feelings as a weapon
When I started to detect it
Let my heart get over excited
For a love unrequited
Bridge:
An expert in detachment
And lying in the moment
I left my heart open
And you tore it to pieces
Chorus
Never said you had to love me back
But why did you have to play me like that
Know you did me wrong
The way you strung me along
Used my feelings as a weapon
When I started to detect it
Let my heart get over excited
For a love unrequited
