Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I saw her standing there
With wide eyes and bleach blonde hair
His arms wrapped around her
He pulled her closer, laughed softly in her ear
The same place we used to go
The best ice cream and no hope
And I could cry about it
And I could talk shit
But she don't know what I know
[Chorus]
Hope she's happy
Hope you treat her better than you ever treated me
Pray she never doubts her worth or her integrity
I'm not even angry
'Cause that used to be me
Just want you to promise me you'll love her differently
Promise me you'll love her differently
[Verse 2]
Maybe you've really changed
Maybe you learned from your mistakes
Yeah, you hurt me bad, you fucked with my head
But maybe that's just what it takes
If she's anything like me
She'll love you so desperately
So please be kind
Be good this time
'Cause I know how she feels, baby
[Chorus]
And I hope she's happy
I hope you treat her better than you ever treated me
I pray she never doubts her worth or her integrity
I'm not even angry
'Cause that used to be me
Just want you to promise me you'll love her differently
Promise me you'll love her differently
[Bridge]
Tell her she's pretty for me
Tell her often she's enough
Take her dancing in the city
Don't be scared to show her love
Never take that girl for granted
Make her feel so smart and kind
'Cause no one should feel like I did
When you used to be mine
[Chorus]
Hope she's happy
Hope you treat her better than you ever treated me
Pray she never doubts her worth or her integrity
I'm not even angry, no
'Cause that used to be me
Just want you to promise me you'll love her differently
Promise me you'll love her differently
Just want you to promise me you'll love her differently
