LIZ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, we're better together
I wish we'd never given up
I still want you forever
I wish I never did
Cuz we're better together
I don't know why we fucked it up
Got me thinkin' 'bout all the things that I never said
(I wish I never did)
I wish I never did
(I wish I never did)
I still want you forever
I wish I never did

Take me back to your broke down car
You put your lips right on mine in the corner store
We got so high in your room, smoking in your bed
Remember every little word you said
Take me back to when I-I had your heart
And when you made me give it back
I never cried so hard
Ya know that I-I-I-I should be moving on
Right now, I still don't know where we went wrong

Yeah, we're better together
I wish we'd never given up
I still want you forever
I wish I never did
Cuz we're better together
I don't know why we fucked it up
Got me thinkin' 'bout all the things that I never said

(I wish I never did)
I wish I never did
(I wish I never did)
I still want you forever

That night at the party
When I said I didn't know your name
Yeah baby, I was lyin'
Can't nobody ever miss that face
Said I caught your eye and you took my hand
Didn't feel like strangers
Keep it one hundred with you
Take you straight, no chaser
Up against the wall
You said you knew it all along
You put your hat on my head like we're in high school
It's your letterman
My lipstick on your mouth
But, you don't care 'cause you're so confident
It's a shame that we're not meant to be
Baby, it's common sense

Yeah we're better together
I wish we'd never given up
I still want you forever
I wish I never did
Cuz we're better together
I don't know why we fucked it up
Got me thinkin' 'bout all the things that I never said

(I wish I never did)
I wish I never did
(I wish I never did)
I still want you forever
I wish I never did

(I wish I never did)
I wish I never did
I wish I never did
(I wish I never did)
I still want you forever
I wish I never did





(I wish I never did)
