I could have been easier on you

I could have been all you held onto

I know I wasn′t fairI 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 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 ′til 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 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 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 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 (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
