Телл ми ай эм а рек

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.
