lyrics

Baby, won’t you calm down
Got to listen, I’ve got to get this out
I’m sorry, but I don’t regret it
And I hate it, but I meant it

Somebody told you I’m here with her
And we are getting on too well
And I couldn’t help it

I couldn’t help myself
I couldn’t help myself
I know it must be hell
Seeing me with someone else

I woke up in my own house
And it looks the same but things feel different now I’m not surprised when you tear me in two
And I realise, what, it’s not me it’s …

You lose your mind and ask me all the time
How can I stand myself
When I could have done it
With anyone else

I couldn’t help myself
I know it must be hell
Seeing me with someone else

When it ended it felt so disappointing
You left me wanting more
Baby I don’t hate you, but I don’t love you anymore

Someone told you I’m here with her
And we’re getting on too well
And I couldn’t help

Couldn’t help myself
I know it must be hell
Seeing me with someone else

Couldn’t help myself (I couldn’t help, I couldn’t help)
