I could have been easier on you I could have been all you held on to I know I wasn't fair, I tried my best to care About you, about you I know I could have been a better man But I always had to have the upper hand I'm struggling to see the better side of me But I can't take all your traps 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? You latched onto me, then cried, I strung you along I told you when you asked, I knew this wouldn't last At least I could be honest about that Now you're telling everyone how I only did you wrong I guess you never knew me long Remember on my 21st birthday You took me where we went on our first date We stayed till closing time after four glasses of wine You started 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? You latched onto me, then cried, I strung you along I told you when you asked, I knew this wouldn't last At least I could be honest about that Now you're telling everyone how I only did you wrong I guess you never knew me long 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? You latched onto me, then cried, I strung you along I told you when you asked, I knew this wouldn't last At least I could be honest about that Now you're telling everyone how I only did you wrong Still I see you standing there waiting around for me to fall Girl you must be crazy still believing you and me belong I guess you never knew me long
