I could've been easier on you
I could've been all you held onto
I know I wasn't fair
I tried my best to care
About you (about you)
I know I could've been a better man
But I always had to have the upper-hand
Struggling to see, the better side of me
But I can't take all your jabs and taunts
You're pointing out my every fault
And you wonder why I walked away
When you tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less?
------strung you along
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn't last
At least I could be honest about this
And now you're telling everyone
That I only did you wrong
I guess you never knew me at all
Remember on my 21st birthday
You took me where we went on our first date
We stayed till closing time with four glasses of wine
You said it with a pointless argument
You said that I forgot to compliment
The dress you wore that night, that I've seen a dozen times
But I think we just want different things
I want space, you want a diamond ring
Whatever made you think we were meant to be?
When you tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less?
------strung you along
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn't last
At least I could be honest about this
And now you're telling everyone
That I only did you wrong
I guess you never knew me at all
You tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less?
When you tell me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less?
------strung you along
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn't last
At least I could be honest about this
And now you're telling everyone
That I only did you wrong
Still see you standing there waiting for me to fall
God I must be crazy, still believing you loved me at all
I guess you never knew me at all
