lyrics

You wanna talk about dirty little secrets? Well, I've got one to tell, about a beautiful boy in a bar who I didn't know very well. Bought me a drink, talked as smooth as can be and in that moment for him I fell. Cuz you were gone, you weren't there - out on the road, it wasn't fair. But I'm a good girl, and I said no - looked in those eyes, and told him I had to go.

But looking back, I wish I'd gone with him that night. I wish I'd let him touch me right. I wish I'd let him do to me the things you did so many times. I wish I'd sunk as low as you. I wish I'd maybe put you through a little taste of what you did, yeah I wish I'd gone home with him.

So I came back to that dark little apartment we shared on the 8th floor. Checked my phone but it never rang much you were always so "busy" on tour. And so I thought of the boy at the bar as my dress slid to the floor.

And maybe if I had he and I'd still be together. Maybe your ghosts would look like me with other lovers. But that's a fantasy, it's not reality. I'll never be like you, and so I'll live knowing the truth that...

I wish I'd gone with him that night. I wish I'd let him love me right. I wish I'd let him do to me the things you did to her those nights. I wish I'd sunk as low as you. I wish I'd maybe put you through a little taste of what you did. I wish that I'd gone home with him.
