It started out of a sudden
you charmed your way through all of my inner walls
I didn't know what to say
but you sure did know just how to take charge
and it was the beginning
the story of a broken heart

I remember it was a Wednesday
and I was longing for a perfect date
if i'd known you any better I would have
told myself to run away

I would have been better
I wouldn’t have hated myself today

But you, you brutal, so self-absorbed you
said that you weren't ready, was this just for pity?
I shouldn't have listened to all of your "maybe"s
then "maybe" I would have been fine

And I, I carelessly chose to believe
that there's still love for me, no more misery
But I should have listened to my own confessions
then maybe I would have been fine.

I remember you told me you won't be like anyone i've met.
you trashed all of my exes saying that they let go of the best.
said how you'd treat me right, how i deserved a better guy.

Then you made me think that I was the problem, overreacting everything, the master of ***-up situations, pulling puppets with my strings
well I guess I've gotta live up to your expectations then.

But you, you brutal, so self-absorbed you
said that you weren't ready, that this is just for pity
shouldn't have listened to all of your "maybe"s
then maybe I would have been fine

And I, I carelessly chose to believe
that there’s still love for me, I just have to be patient
But I should have listened to my confessions
then maybe my heart would have been fine.

you left a permanent mark
that i can't ever forgive
and now i'm holding this scar
against any good guy i'll meet

but you, you selfish ***, you could have told me
that you still weren't ready, but you'd rather hurt me
said you never would but you still broke me into pieces
how could you still go on with your day.

and I, so petrified I, get terrified
of these haunting dreams that you carved within me.
If only I hadn’t been so damn naive
then maybe I would have been fine

and that's just the way it was
the story of a broken heart
you seem to be just fine
while i'm still here picking up the parts.
