I told my friends you were the one
After I′d known you, like, a month
And then you kissed some girl from high school
And I stayed in bed for, like, a week
When you said space was what you need
Waited by my phone just like a damn fool

And now it don’t mean a thing
God, love′s just so embarrassin’
Just watch as I crucify myself
For some weird second string
Loser who’s not worth mentioning
My God, love′s embarrassing as hell

And I consoled you while you cried
Over your ex-girlfriend′s new guy
My God, how could I be so stupid?
You found a new version of me
And I damn near started World War III
Jesus, what was I even doin’?

′Cause now it don’t mean a thing
God, love′s just so embarrassin’
Just watch as I crucify myself
For some weird second string
Loser who′s not worth mentioning
My God, love’s embarrassing as hell

I give up, give up, I give up everything
I placed my bets and it’s not worth anything
I give up, give up, but I keep comin′ back for more, yeah

It don′t mean a thing
God, love’s just so embarrassin′
Just watch as I crucify myself, hey, hey, hey
For some weird second string
Loser who’s not worth mentioning
My God, love′s embarrassing as hell

Yeah, yeah, I give up (ah), give up, I give up everything (ah-ha-ha)
I’m plannin′ out my wedding with some guy I’m never marryin’
I′m givin′ up, I’m givin′ up, but I keep comin’ back for more
