"Anything But What It Was" lyrics

I remember that red light
Talking bout what you wanted in life
Stable job in our hometown
Ten minutes from your mama's house
My dream was the wild kind
Pretty far from the county line
Right then, we both knew
The future wasn't me and you

No one's fault, but I wish it was
'Cause then it'd make the moving on a whole lot easier on us

I wish we woulda made a mess of things
You'da slammed the door and swore me off
So we went down in flames
I wish we woulda cursed each other's names
Had a real long list of reasons
Why the other one's to blame
I wish it was every bit of complicated
A memory that we both hated
An easy-to-forget-it kinda love
Anything but what it was

It was one look with tears in your eyes
Holding you when we said goodbye
Was a little too perfect, nothing worse than

When it's no one's fault, but you wish it was
It'd make the moving on a lot easier on us

I wish we woulda made a mess of things
You'da slammed the door and swore me off
So we went down in flames
I wish we woulda cursed each other's names
Had a real long list of reasons why
The other one's to blame
I wish it was every bit of complicated
A memory that we both hated
An easy-to-forget-it kinda love
Anything but what it was
Anything but what it was

I wish we woulda made a mess of things
You'da slammed the door and swore me off
So we went down in flames
I wish we woulda cursed each other's names
Had a real long list of reasons why
The other one's to blame
I wish it was every bit of complicated
A memory that we both hated
An easy-to-forget-it kinda love
Anything but what it was
Anything but what it was

I remember that red light
Talking bout what you wanted in life
