Let's just pretend for a second / it never happened
And we've been together for seven years instead of only four
And all of the distance between us / like paper napkins
Folded and forgotten on the floor
All of the time since we broke up / I've been thinking
Trying to figure out why you left and how I let you go
I think I'm starting to get it / and it's partly my fault
So wrote this song to try and let you know
That I've thought it through and I think it's true that
I don't hate you anymore
I'm tired of writing about you / and I'm sure you must be
Tired of hearing your name all over these bitter break-up songs
If the words I wrote hurt you / I'm truly sorry
The song remains even though the feeling's gone
But maybe someday we'll be famous / and you'll be driving
Listening to the college radio station where you live
And maybe this song will be playing / I hope you like it
My catchy way of saying I'm over it
I've thought it through and I think it's true that
I don't hate you anymore
So here's to the new competition / I hope you meant it
When you said that married life is the best time that you've ever had
And all of these songs that I've written / on paper napkins
Are finally where they belong in the trash
I've thought it through and I think it's true that
I don't hate you anymore
And we've been together for seven years instead of only four
And all of the distance between us / like paper napkins
Folded and forgotten on the floor
All of the time since we broke up / I've been thinking
Trying to figure out why you left and how I let you go
I think I'm starting to get it / and it's partly my fault
So wrote this song to try and let you know
That I've thought it through and I think it's true that
I don't hate you anymore
I'm tired of writing about you / and I'm sure you must be
