Bad bets, regrets The evidence outweighed the defense Even then, I kept all your secrets Every time you crossed the line And it makes no sense I'm on trial if the crime is yours Then why am I the one paying for it When I've already done my time? But now I got that hindsight (hindsight) Bird's-eye view from so high (so high) Up in the sky I'd go back in time, I'd Tell myself every time that he said he'd tried He lied Save your pennies and your nickels and your dimes You'll be waiting here a very long time That boy was never, no that boy was never You could spend your twenties wishing that he might But you might be waiting the rest of your life That boy was never, no that boy was never gonna change All my grieving Done on display while they watched, critiquing Buried my heart while it was still beating As vultures circled in the sky Whispered treasons It's like I'm awake at my wake, I'm screaming Why are they acting like I can't hear them? How could she not have seen the signs? But now I got that hindsight (hindsight) Bird's-eye view from so high (so high) Up in the sky I'd go back in time, I'd Tell myself when you felt something wasn't right You were right Save your pennies and your nickels and your dimes You'll be waiting here a very long time That boy was never, no that boy was never You could spend your twenties wishing that he might But you might be waiting the rest of your life That boy was never, no that boy was never gonna change But if I had a penny for every lie Every tear that I've cried For a stupid boy, I would die The wealthiest woman alive And just to spite you I might With every song that I write Diamonds every time someone streams this line We might be splitting our things in half But you're getting more than that My youth, my trust, my body All the things that I can't get back And no, woah Can't give me that back You can't give me that back The damage is done The coast is sunk The war is over but nobody won An empty habit while you're holding that gun If you want my two cents Just run Save your pennies and your nickels and your dimes You'll be waiting here a very long time That boy was never, no that boy was never You could spend your twenties wishing that he might But you might be waiting the rest of your life That boy was never, no that boy was never gonna change
