"should've said no" is like "betty" but betty's pov. like i know "cardigan" is betty's pov of the situation but you get what im trying to say right
like the parallels and everything between the two just gives betty's pov
examples (that have no order to them):
("betty" = "should've said no")
"you heard the rumors from inez you can't believe a word she says but this time it was true" = "you should've known that word 'bout what you did with her'd get back to me"
"if i showed up at your party would you have me would you want me" & "betty im here on your doorstep" = "you shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet"
"when she pulled up like a figment of my worst intentions" & "she said 'james get in lets drive' those days turned into nights" = "you said the past is the past you need one chance, it was a moment of weakness so you said yes"
"the worst thing that i ever did was what i did to you" & "when i passed your house its like i couldn't breathe" & "i'm only 17 i dont know anything but i know i miss you" + a shit ton of other lines = "you can see that ive been crying baby you know all the right things to say"
"slept next to her but i dreamt of you all summer long" = "i should've been there in the back of your mind i shouldn't be asking myself 'why'"
"betty i won't make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom but i think it's cause of me" = "yesterday i found out about you even now just looking at you feels wrong"
"would you have me? would you love me? would you tell me to go fuck myself" = "you should've said no, baby and you might still have me"
"will you kiss me on the porch in front of all your stupid friends" = "but do you honestly expect me to believe that we could ever be the same?"
"in the garden would you trust me if i told you it was just a summer thing" = "before you go tell me this, was it worth it? was she worth this?"
"i was walking home on broken cobblestones .... when she pulled up" & "she said 'james get in lets drive'" = "you should've said no, you should've gone home, you should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go"
