When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "This is absurd"

She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, woah
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, woah

I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up

This is surely not what you thought it would be
I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say

And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well, I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead

Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you

i just wanna feel okay again
i bet you got pushed around
somebody made you cold
but the cycle ends right now

I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you, I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently
But I really wish you would

So this is me swallowin my pride
Standin in front of you sayin I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
