[Verse 1] It started off grand, and ended in ruins
Thought you were the one
Never knew what you doing, no
You didn't know when, to stop all of your games
And you left me here
Left me without any shame

[Pre-Chorus] And so the truth came out
You couldn't promise me the love that I was
Pouring out for you
And then you went away
I couldn't get you out of my mind
Oh, I was broken down for you

[Chorus] 500 days, I know it wasn't the best
But I won't ever forget
No, I won't ever forget you
500 days, I know it wasn't the best
But I won't ever forget
No, I won't ever forget you

[Verse 2] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I gotta be frank
I can't imagine me with anyone other than you
You had me feeling like my dreams came true
You made me feel good
Like no one else existed
Like summer was here everyday of the year
And now it's just my wishful thinking

[Pre-Chorus] And so the truth came out
You promised someone else the love that I was
Pouring out for you
And when you went away
I couldn't get you out of my mind
Oh I was broken down for you

[Chorus] 500 days, I know it wasn't the best
But I won't ever forget
No, I won't ever forget you
500 days, I know it wasn't the best
But I won't ever forget
No, I won't ever forget you

[Post Chorus] Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

[Bridge] And there is a light, and it never goes out
And there is a promise
And I don't mean to scream and shout
But there is a fog, and it's blocking that light
Gotta let you go, no use in fighting this fight

[Chorus] 500 days, I know it wasn't the best
But I won't ever forget
No, I won't ever forget you
500 days, I know it wasn't the best
But I won't ever forget
No, I won't ever forget you
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
