"the one you want to lose" lyrics

I was gonna sing on your records
'Cause you had painted me your muse
You always said I could do better
I said, "I don't care, I just want you"

Told me how you loved a slow burn
But you were falling hard and quick
You said you hoped that we'd be long-term
But I guess you got over it

Yeah, I guess you got over it

How am I
Gonna give you up?
Gonna let you go forever?

How come I
I'm the one you want
Till I'm the one you want to lose?

Forget all of the conversations
Did you ever mean a word you said?
Forget the plans that we were making
All we had is all we'll ever get

Lost a lover, lost a friend
But if I could go back again
Would I change?
Would I let it happen?

How am I
Gonna give you up?
Gonna let you go forever?

How come I
I'm the one you want
Till I'm the one you want to lose?

How could you
Hurt me like you hurt me
And still say it's for the better?

How're you
Moving on without me?
Baby, I'm still coming to

Lost a lover, lost a friend
But if I could go back again

How am I
Gonna give you up?
Gonna let you go forever?

How come I
I'm the one you want
Till I'm the one you want to lose?

How could you
Hurt me like you hurt me
And still say it's for the better?

How're you
Moving on without me?
Baby, I'm still coming to
I'm still coming to

I was gonna sing on your records
'Cause you had painted me your muse
You always said I could do better
I said, "I don't care, I just want you"
