[Verse 1]
I know I said I love you, but I'm thinking I was wrong
I am the first to admit that I'm still pretty young
And I never meant to hurt you when I wrote you ten love songs
That girl that I could never get
'Cause her boyfriend was apparently fit
And everyone who knew him loved him, so
I made you leave him for me
And now I'm feeling pretty mean
But my mind has thrown me over more times than anyone could ever know

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I should give up, give in
Give up trying to be thin
Give up and turn towards my mother
God knows I lovе her

[Chorus]
And I'm sorry to whichever onе
Should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware
And I will never love again
'Cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
And I can't do it again

[Verse 2]
So we stayed up late one night
To try and get our problems right
But I couldn't get into her head just what was going through my mind
I think she knew where I was going
'Cause she put Laura Marling on
I think she thinks it makes me weak, it only ever makes me strong
I've got this friend who sounds just like her
And she's the one I'd leave you for
The one that I just adore like you
The same one, she turns to me
Says, "Gotta tell you how I feel
If God could make the perfect one for me, it would be you"
And my God told me not to tell
But how much do you love your fella?
I don't know more every day
Not in this new romantic way
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll always be your first love
You'll always be my first love

[Chorus]
But I'm sorry to whichever one
Should meet my sorry state
Watch my sturdy, lonesome gait and beware
And I will never love a woman
'Cause love and pain go hand-in-hand
And I can't do it again
And I will never love a woman
'Cause I could never hurt someone
Not in this new romantic way
