Sprung into my head in the night-time, 
It’s been a long while, 
Since you crossed my mind. 
Still not sure if you’re welcome,  
But it feels nice, 
To have you back on my timeline. 

Looked you up when I woke,  
You’ve got a kid now, 
In every picture (oh, picture) he smiles. 
It was a teenage dream, 
That said it should’ve been me, 
To be that guy in the background. 

Ooh I loved her at her worst, 
Because, 
Ooh she loved me first.  

You’re nothing but a story that I told. 
I remain, 
You’re nothing but a story that I told. 
I erased, 
Images of a love so old (that), 
I don’t know you anymore.  

That life feels like a dream now, 
A vision in a dark cloud, 
Running through my mind. 
Can’t imagine myself like that, 
Don’t want none of that back, 
It’s all yours; you can keep mine. 

Oh I loved her at her worst, 
Even when, 
Her love faded first. 

You’re nothing but a story that I told. 
I remain, 
You’re nothing but a story that I told. 
I erased, 
Images of a love so old (that), 
I don’t know you anymore.  

You’re nothing but a story that I told.
