Tell Me I'm A Wreck by 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
I know I could've been a better man
But I always had to have the upper hand
I'm 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?
You latched onto me then cried (1)________ I strung you along
I told you when you asked
I (2)________ this wouldn't last
At least I could be honest about that
And now you're telling everyone
How I only did you wrong
I guess you never knew me at all
Remember on my 21st birthday
You (3)________ me where we went on our first date
We stayed till closing time, after 4 glasses of wine
You (4)______________ with a pointless argument
You said (5)________ I forgot to compliment
The dress you wore that night
That I've seen a thousand 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 (6)________ me I'm a wreck
You say that I'm a mess
How could you expect anything less?
You latched onto me then cried that I strung you along
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn't last
At least I (7)__________ be honest (8)__________ that

At least I could be (9)____________ about that
And now you're (10)______________ everyone
How I only did you wrong
Still I see you standing there
Waiting 'round for me to fall
Girl you must be crazy
Still believing you and me belong
I guess you never knew me at all.
