Why’d You Have To Ruin My Favorite Song? By Lauren Teel
I was at a dive bar in town
Just wearin’ these boots out
Then a song came on
Now my head’s spinnin’ round and around

Used to be
I could hear that beat
And not think twice about you and me
But now you’re gone
And you’re moved on
And I still can’t sing that song

Why’d you have to ruin my favorite song?
Now when I hear it
My head’s all wrong
And every time I hear that melody
I just think you’re not with me
And I’m not okay
No, I’m not okay
Why’d you have to ruin my favorite song
With your memory, yeah

I was in my car drivin’ around
Just chilling out
Then that radio came on
And now I’m stuck feeling down

Used to be
I could hear that beat
And not think twice about you and me
But now you’re gone
And you’re moved on
And I still can’t sing that song

Why’d you have to ruin my favorite song?
Now when I hear it
My head’s all wrong
And every time I hear that melody
I just think you’re not with me
And I’m not okay
No, I’m not okay
Why’d you have to ruin my favorite song
With your memory, yeah

Well if time really flies
Then I don’t know why
I can’t bear to hear that rhyme
I’ll soon move on
And I’ll become strong
But right now I can’t sing that song

Why’d you have to ruin my favorite song?
Now every time I hear it
I think of what went wrong
And every time I hear that melody
I just think you’re not with me
And I’m not okay
No, I’m not okay
Why’d you have to ruin my favorite song
With your memory, yeah

With its haunting simplicity, the song is a tribute to the beauty and sorrow of love that almost was, lingering like an empty frame on the wall.
