"Your New Girlfriend" lyrics

(Mm-hm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm, mm-mm)

Your new girlfriend's
A lot different than I was
Her eyes shimmer
And I know that you're the cause
We don't talk much
Ever since I left the city
Bet you tell her
She's so smart, and kind, and pretty

'Cause she is, and she was, and she will be
I wish her well, there's no bitterness or irony

'Cause you look happy, she looks happy
Idyllic tableau, you're both laughing
Wish I never wished you pain
'Cause we were friends once, untied ends once
Now I've let go, on the mend, such a wonderful ending to your name
'Cause I liked you, but I love the way you've changed

And I'm different
My feet aren't tethered to the ground (to the ground)
I've been growing
All new friends, and state, and house
Then I thought I'd
Know more when I reached your age
But now I'm 20 (now I'm 20)
And I fuck up all the same

And I did, and I will, and I should
We're all learning, crashing, burning
Trying to be good

Now I'm so happy, so damn happy
Idyllic tableau, always laughing
Wish I never wished you pain
'Cause we were friends once, untied ends once
Now I've let go, on the mend, such a wonderful ending to your name
'Cause I liked you, but I love the way I've changed
How I've changed (how I've changed)

And you were a lesson, thank God I learned at 18
And you aren't a villain, just not something that I still need
And ten years from now I'll look at pictures of your babies
Pride and happy raised cheeks
Knowing you helped make me
Who I am now, no, it's not that you saved me
You helped me reflect, now I've done a 180
And we're not in love, but I wish you well, like, really
Thought that it would kill me, now I see it clearly

We're all happy, so damn happy
Idyllic tableau, always laughing
And we've grown from all the pain
'Cause we were friends once, untied ends once
Now I've let go, on the mend, such a wonderful ending to your name
'Cause I liked you, but I loved the way we've changed
