Verse
I always was the one to leave
I had no rehearsal
For this role reversal
Pre-Chorus 1
Say nice things about Detroit
The way you left you were a big big jerk
There I was anticipating
Some kind of love
I'm still waiting
Pre-Chorus 2
It's like it was just last week
I tell myself but it wasn't
Dressing up and making plans
I'm so bad at staying friends
Say something nice
Say it again
Say something nice
Say it again
Verse
I'd never known a libertine
But you sure were thirsty
Then it gets all murky
Pre-Chorus 1
Say nice things about Detroit
Remember standing in the doorway
Private words and holding hands
Can't you pretend to pretend?
Pre-Chorus 2
Say nice things about Detroit
The way you left you were a big big jerk
There I was anticipating
Some kind of love
I'm still waiting
Say something nice
Say it again
Say something nice
Say it again
