lyrics

Promise me, honestly
tell me no lie,
cross your heart and hope to die.
Will you remember me
when laughter you find
and say, "He's a friend of mine."?

You went away yesterday
and left my heart far behind.
You took my lemons and gave me the rinds.
An unfair trade I feel we made,
I can't even turn my lemons into lemonade.
Something's gotta go and I guess we both know that's it's me.

You threw me out,
you threw me up,
you threw me back,
you threw me away.

Though I'm hurt, I s'ppose I deserved
all the pain that came my way.
I brought it upon myself, and there ain't no more to say.
Well, technically that's wrong since I'm not done with this song.
I'm gonna try to time it so it doesn't take too long,
cause I've got a plane to catch. You see, I just get too attached, but
that's me.

You threw me out,
you threw me up,
you threw me back,
you threw me away.
