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.
