I'm not trying to be the one that hurts you
But I know where this may lead
After everything I've told you
Some of my actions make it hard to believe
Before I ever cross that line, I'll leave from your side
And before I let anyone else take your place
I'll lift my hands to the sky
Instead of giving you conversation
I'd rather you give me space
In that empty house where my things should be
Your lonely arms no more holding me
That fragile heart that I'm slowly breaking
See that's where you went wrong started thinking the obvious
Seems like everyday is getting more monotonous
You can have cake but you sure can't eat it
And you'll never have me, would you like me to repeat it
How can I say this without making it the ending
You say that I had you from the very beginning
1st time we talked, you say 'you got me as yours'
Lies aren't to tell, what'd you think I listened for

Before I could break your heart
I'll leave you out in the rain
Watch the thunder mix with your tears
Defying you of your pain
Before I could tell you a life
I just won't say a word
Still I apologize for how I've acted
Sorry for being yours

That's a crazy story, how you'd come to that
I gave you wanted, now I'm off your back
You think I'm just another kid in this big 'ol world

But my minds more advance, than his, yours, and hers
Yea, I left it alone, but not to come to you
I did it for myself, I was the one who pulled through
Staying clear of darkness, it only leads to trouble
If I'm not here today, who's gonna get you out from under
You see I can't be that and it's time that you believed that
Never a 2nd choice, always 1st, better remember that
Still I'll just say this and I'll leave it alone
It's crystal clear to me who was always doing wrong
They say 3rd times a charm, but your 3rd time as a strike
The last one to be exact, so now I'm done, alright
I'll be whipping through your town with smiles on my face
Bet you never thought nobody would do it this way

Before I could break your heart
I'll leave you out in the rain
Watch the thunder mix with your tears
Defying you of your pain
Before I could tell you a life
I just won't say a word
Still I apologize for how I've acted
Sorry for being yours

Before I could break your heart
I'll leave you out in the rain
Watch the thunder mix with your tears
Defying you of your pain
Before I could tell you a life
I just won't say a word
Still I apologize for how I've acted
Sorry for being yours
