I tried to help you but you claimed to be beyond it
You left me high and dry and that when I quit
You know I only wanted what was best for you
But hey, I can get mean too
My memory throughout this has gotten awfully hazy
but I need to let it out before it drives me crazy
You know, I loved you more than my own health
I would’ve sacrificed all, even future wealth
I wrote songs about you and memoirs
but clearly I was more naive than you are
I used to consider you my everything
even if to you it didn’t mean anything
You tore me down but I was silently muttering
to myself and just laying here shuddering
thinking maybe I wasn’t entirely innocent
for ruining the thing that was so magnificent
I even changed my ways just for you
yet still my mishaps never fail to shine right through
I know I sound like the bad guy to you
but no guy will care about you like I do
