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
