  • They're cuttin' her up on the operatin' table, but it wasn't enough
    The front desk pages, it's a call for the ages
    They couldn't save her, they couldn't save her
    The surgeon said, "She had a hole in her heart
    But it wasn't her fault, it was there from the start"
    Tryin' to love you through an open wound
    'Cause everythin' I put inside there just fell right through
    And I hold the parts together with some pressure and glue
    And you're runnin' in slow-mo to the hospital room
    If you only knew
    How bad it hurt me too

    So now you can take the money, you can get on a plane
    To a beautiful island, build her house in my name
    You can donate all the money to somebody in pain
    And you can rest your head down and not feel any shame
    I never loved you
    I never loved you
    I never loved you in vain

    They're sewin' me shut
    Openin' the doors and then removin' their gloves
    Taking the long way to the end of the hallway
    They couldn't save her, they couldn't save her
    Told the nurses that we argued a lot
    And you're ramblin' on about the last time we fought
    You drove off screamin' on the night you were caught
    You left me standin' in the parkin' lot
    I took off chasin' you down Route 22
    'Cause you never listened, and I'm terrible too
    You kept on drivin' far away from the issues
    If you stopped, I would've kissed you

    So now you can take the money, you can get on a plane
    To a beautiful island, build her house in my name
    You can donate all the money to somebody in pain
    And you can rest your head down and not feel any shame
    I never loved you
    I never loved you
    I never loved you in vain

    Flash of light, heat of fire
    Head on concrete and the screechin' of tires
    Sound of sirens, rush of pain
    I almost thought I heard you call my name

    So now you can take the money, you can get on a plane
    To a beautiful island, build her house in my name
    You can donate all the money to somebody in pain
    And you can rest your head down and not feel any shame
    I never loved you
    I never loved you
    I never loved you in vain Writer/s: Ashley Frangipane, Michael Uzowuru, Tyler Johnson
