LYRICS

I’m standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you’re sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You’d figure in time

Everyone told me to stay away from you
But I couldn’t listen, I couldn’t shake the way that you moved
I saw the warning signs from the start, yeah
But I never thought you’d break my heart, my heart

I’m standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you’re sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You’d figure in time

My dirty angel you’ve done it now, it’s too late
You put your footprints into the ground, a careful mistake
I lay in your bed cold, craving the sun, oh no
And I used to think you were the one, the one (the one)

I’m standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you’re sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You’d figure in time

I’m standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you’re sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You’d figure in time

Feeling down and so vulnerable
We’re calling your bluff (calling your bluff)
Put fire out with fire, dirty liar, gonna even up the score

I’m standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you’re sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You’d figure in time

I’m standing up for the lonely
And the lovers that you left behind
And baby every time
You said you’re sorry and call me
Oh, if only you could read my mind
You’d figure in time
You’d figure in time
You’d figure in time (time)
You’d figure in time
You’d figure in time (time)
