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
