Every Avenue – Tell Me I'm A Wreck lyrics

I could have been easier on you,
I could have been all you held on to.
I know I wasn't fair, I tried my best to care
About you (About you).

I know I could have been a better man,
But 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.

[Chorus:]
When you tell me I'm a wreck, you say that I'm a mess,
How could you expect anything less? (Expect anything less)
You latched onto me then cried I strung you along.
I told you when you asked I knew this wouldn't last,
At least I could be honest about that (Honest about that).
And now you're tellin' everyone how 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 after four glasses of wine.
You started with the pointless argument,
You said that 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.
What ever made you think we were meant to be?

[Chorus:]
When you tell me I'm a wreck, you say that I'm a mess,
How could you expect anything less? (Expect anything less)
You latched onto me then cried I strung you along.
I told you when you asked I knew this wouldn't last,
At least I could be honest about that (Honest about that).
And now you're tellin' everyone how I only did you wrong
(How 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?

[Chorus:]
When you tell me I'm a wreck, you say that I'm a mess,
How could you expect anything less? (Expect anything less)
You latched onto me then cried I strung you along
(Cried I strung you along).
I told you when you asked I knew this wouldn't last,
At least I could be honest about that (Honest about that).
And now you're tellin' everyone how I only did you wrong.
(How I only did you wrong)

Still I see you standing there waiting round for me to fall
(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!
