I could have been easier on you I could have been all you held onto I know I wasn't fair, I tried my best to care 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 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? You latched onto me then cried that I strung you along I told you when you asked I knew this wouldn't last At least I could be honest about that And now you're telling everyone How 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, after 4 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 thousand 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 that I strung you along I told you when you asked I knew this wouldn't last At least I could be honest about that And now you're telling everyone How 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? You latched onto me then cried that I strung you along I told you when you asked I knew this wouldn't last At least I could be honest about that And now you're telling everyone How I only did you wrong Still I see you standing there Waiting 'round for me to fall Girl you must be crazy Still believing you and me belong I guess you never knew me at all.
