lyrics

I hope you’re happy in the city
I hope you’re having a ball
I hope you’re dating someone pretty
And I hope that you don’t call
I hope you tried to forget me
Oh God, it went so wrong
I hope you never regret me
I hope you’re feeling strong, but

Some days I wake up and I’m the villain
I’m the one to blame
Some days I wake up next to a lover
And don’t even know his name
Some days I wake up and can’t remember
Where it is my heart went to
Some days I wake up and I am haunted by
The dreams I had of you

We kissed on the Champs-Elysees and
We kissed in Montreal
We kissed most every day
I hope that you don’t call
And we’d pretend to be in movies
I swore that I’d be true
I hope you never regret me
Some days, I regret you

Some days I wake up and I’m the villain
I’m the one to blame
Some days I wake up next to a lover
And don’t even know his name
Some days I wake up and can’t remember
Where it is my heart went to
Some days I wake up and I am haunted by
The dreams I had of you

I hope you’re happy in the city
We kissed on the Champs-Elysees
It was your eyes I’d get lost in
It was you that walked away
And still

Some days I wake up and I’m the villain
I’m the one to blame
Some days I wake up next to a lover
And don’t even know his name
Some days I wake up and can’t remember
Where it is my heart went to
Some days I wake up and I am haunted by
The dreams I had of you
