[Verse 1]
I remember the day that we met
You were like a light I didn't know that I needed
You had a smile that could warm up the New York cold
It wasn't long till we both caught feelings
I didn't know that we both had demons but
It's funny how time reveals it all
[Pre-Chorus]
And you stayed out that night
After we had a fight
And my friends say they saw you with him
At that bar where we met
While I'm here in my bed
Do you even regret what you did?
[Chorus]
'Cause it was never meant to end like this
Standing in thе rain in your black dress
So go ahead and tell mе what I did to deserve this
And I'm not saying we were perfect
But I hope that one night with him was worth it
But telling me that it was a mistake don't make it hurt less
It don't make it hurt less
[Verse 2]
I'm standing here as you list off your reasons
Made me feel like a fool for believing
Reach for your hand as I turn to leave
But you keep on holding on
[Pre-Chorus]
And your eyes started falling way down with despair
And you turned around and said "This isn't fair
It was only one night, there were no feelings shared"
So I looked in your eyes and I said
[Chorus]
It was never meant to end like this
Standing in the rain in your black dress
So go ahead and tell me what I did to deserve this
And I'm not saying we were perfect
But I hope that one night with him was worth it
But telling me that it was a mistake don't make it hurt less
It don't make it hurt less
[Bridge]
I know the day will come when this won't hurt anymore
When all the pain is just an afterthought
But if I'm strong enough to let you in
I can let you out again
But I hope some day you'll find someone who loves you
Like I did
[Chorus]
'Cause it was never meant to end like this
Standing in the rain in your black dress
So go ahead and tell me what I did to deserve this
And I'm not saying we were perfect
But I hope that one night with him was worth it
But telling me that it was a mistake don't make it hurt less
It don't make it hurt less
I remember the day that we met
You were like a light I didn't know that I needed
You had a smile that could warm up the New York cold
It wasn't long till we both caught feelings
I didn't know that we both had demons but
It's funny how time reveals it all
[Pre-Chorus]
And you stayed out that night
After we had a fight
And my friends say they saw you with him
At that bar where we met
While I'm here in my bed
Do you even regret what you did?
[Chorus]
'Cause it was never meant to end like this
Standing in thе rain in your black dress
So go ahead and tell mе what I did to deserve this
And I'm not saying we were perfect
But I hope that one night with him was worth it
But telling me that it was a mistake don't make it hurt less
It don't make it hurt less

It don't make it hurt less
