When You Tell Me I'm A Wreck Lyrics - Singles - Every Avenue

I could've been easier on you 

I could've been all you held onto 

I know I wasn't fair 

I tried my best to care 

About you (about you) 

I know I could've been a better man 

But I always had to have the upper-hand 

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? 

------strung you along 

I told you when you asked 

I knew this wouldn't last 

At least I could be honest about this 

And now you're telling everyone 

That 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 with four glasses of wine 

You said it with a pointless argument 

You said that I forgot to compliment 

The dress you wore that night, that I've seen a dozen 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? 

------strung you along 

I told you when you asked 

I knew this wouldn't last 

At least I could be honest about this 

And now you're telling everyone 

That 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? 

------strung you along 

I told you when you asked 

I knew this wouldn't last 

At least I could be honest about this 

And now you're telling everyone 

That I only did you wrong 

Still see you standing there waiting for me to fall 

God I must be crazy, still believing you loved me at all 

I guess you never knew me at all
