Every Avenue - Tell Me I'm A Wreck lyrics

rate me

I could have been easier on you<br />

I could have been all you held on to<br />

I know I wasn't fair<br />

I tried my best to care<br />

About you<br />

(About you)<br />

<br />

I know I could have been a better man<br />

I always had to have the upper hand<br />

I'm struggling to see<br />

The better side of me<br />

But I can't<br />

Take all your jabs and taunts<br />

You're pointing out<br />

My every fault<br />

And you wonder why I walked away<br />

<br />

When you tell me I'm a wreck<br />

You say that I'm a mess<br />

How could you expect anything less<br />

(Expect anything less)<br />

You latched onto me<br />

Then cried I strung you along<br />

<br />

I told you when you asked<br />

I knew this wouldn't last<br />

At least I could be honest about that<br />

(Honest about that)<br />

And now you're tellin' everyone<br />

How I only did you wrong<br />

<br />

I guess you never knew me at all<br />

<br />

Remember on my 21st birthday<br />

You took me where we went on our first date<br />

We stayed till closing time<br />

After four glasses of wine<br />

You started with the pointless argument<br />

You said that I forgot to compliment<br />

The dress you wore that night<br />

That I've seen a thousand times<br />

<br />

But I think<br />

We just want different things<br />

I want space<br />

You want a diamond ring<br />

Whatever made you think we were meant to be?<br />

<br />

When you tell me I'm a wreck<br />

You say that I'm a mess<br />

How could you expect anything less<br />

(Expect anything less)<br />

You latched onto me<br />

Then cried I strung you along<br />

(Cried I strung you along)<br />

<br />

I told you when you asked<br />

I knew this wouldn't last<br />

At least I could be honest about that<br />

(Honest about that)<br />

And now you're tellin' everyone<br />

How I only did you wrong<br />

(How I only did you wrong)<br />

<br />

I guess you never knew me at all<br />

<br />

You tell me I'm a wreck<br />

You say that I'm a mess<br />

How could you expect anything less<br />

<br />

When you tell me I'm a wreck<br />

You say that I'm a mess<br />

How could you expect anything less<br />

(Expect anything less)<br />

You latched onto me<br />

Then cried I strung you along<br />

(Cried I strung you along)<br />

<br />

I told you when you asked<br />

I knew this wouldn't last<br />

At least I could be honest about that<br />

(Honest about that)<br />

And now you're tellin' everyone<br />

How I only did you wrong<br />

(How I only did you wrong)<br />

<br />

Still I see you standing there<br />

Waiting round for me to fall<br />

(Waiting round for me to fall)<br />

Girl you must be crazy<br />

Still believing you and me belong<br />

<br />

I guess you never knew me at all
