Newspaper lyrics

I too used to want him to be proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's telling you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

And it's a shame because you and I didn't get a witness

We're the only ones who know

We were cursed the moment that he kissed us

From then on, it was his big show

I grew concerned when I saw him start to covet you

When I learned what he did, I felt close to you

In my own way, I fell in love with you

But he's made me a ghost to you

I watch him let go of your hand, I wanna stand between you

But it's not what I'm supposed to do

I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you

And it makes me feel close to you

It makes me feel close to you

It makes me feel close to you

It's not what it's supposed to do

It makes me feel close to you

I too wanted to make him proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's telling you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

And it's a shame because you and I didn't get a witness

We're the only ones who know

We were cursed the moment that he kissed us

From then on, it was his big show

From then on, it was his big show

From then on, it was his big show

And you're wearing time like a flowery crown

Sitting that, sitting that big cat down

And I'm alone on the summit now

Trying not to let my light go out

I too used to want him to be proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's telling you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

And it's a shame because you and I did not get a witness

We’re the only ones who know

We were cursed the moment that he kissed us

From then on, it was his big show

I grew concerned when I saw him start to covet you

When I learned what he did, I felt close to you

In my own way, I fell in love with you

But he's made me a ghost to you

I watch him let go of your hand, I wanna stand between you

But it's not what I'm supposed to do

I watch him walk over you, talk over you, be mean to you

And it makes me feel close to you

And you're wearing time like a flowery crown

Sitting there, sitting that big cat down

And I'm alone on the summit now

Trying not to let my light go out

Trying not to let my light go out

And you're wearing time like a flowery crown

Sitting there, sitting that big cat down

And I'm alone on the summit now

Trying not to let my light go out

Oh, I too used to want him to be proud of me

And then I just wanted him to make amends

I wonder what lies he's told you about me

To make sure that we'll never be friends

To make sure that we'll never be friends

To make sure that we'll never be friends

To make sure that we'll never be friends
