Melody chose me And then Melody changed her mind I should be over it now But I ain't over it now That's why I'd rather be lonely Than be somebody's wasted time I should be over it now But I ain't over it now They always gotta go when you want 'em to stay So it's better not to love in case it's taken away "It's alright, it's fine - You will find in time" This is what they say to the ones that stay behind So Melody chose me And then Melody changed her mind I should be over it now But I ain't over it now That's why I'd rather be lonely Than be somebody's wasted time I should be over it now But I ain't over it now They always gotta go when you want 'em to stay So it's better not to love in case it's taken away And just when you think you've got a foot in the door Is the moment you see that she's not there anymore So why did Melody choose me? If I'm not the choosing kind Stop messing with my mind I have felt what it feels like To be chosen and then unchosen And they always gotta go when you want 'em to stay So it's better not to love in case it's taken away And just when you think you've got some skin in the game And just when you think the tides are turning your way And just when you think you've got a bird in the hand It's a shakedown, broken to a shell of a man So why did Melody choose me? Oh, why did Melody choose me? If I'm not the choosing kind Stop messing with my mind
