"Melody" lyrics

Melody chose me
And then Melody changed her mind
I should be over it now
But I ain't over it now
That's why I'd rather be lonely
Than be somebody's wasted time
I should be over it now
But I ain't over it now

They always gotta go when you want 'em to stay
So it's better not to love in case it's taken away

"It's alright, it's fine - You will find in time"
This is what they say to the ones that stay behind

So Melody chose me
And then Melody changed her mind
I should be over it now
But I ain't over it now
That's why I'd rather be lonely
Than be somebody's wasted time
I should be over it now
But I ain't over it now

They always gotta go when you want 'em to stay
So it's better not to love in case it's taken away
And just when you think you've got a foot in the door
Is the moment you see that she's not there anymore

So why did Melody choose me?
If I'm not the choosing kind
Stop messing with my mind

I have felt what it feels like
To be chosen and then unchosen

And they always gotta go when you want 'em to stay
So it's better not to love in case it's taken away
And just when you think you've got some skin in the game
And just when you think the tides are turning your way
And just when you think you've got a bird in the hand
It's a shakedown, broken to a shell of a man

So why did Melody choose me?
Oh, why did Melody choose me?
If I'm not the choosing kind
Stop messing with my mind
