Tell Me I'm a Wreck Songtext
von Every Avenue

I could have been easier on you
I could have been all you held onto
I know I wasn′t fair
I tried my best to care about you

I know I could have 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 I strung you along
I told you when you asked
I knew 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 took me where we went on our first date
We stayed ′til closing time, after 4 glasses of wine
You started with a 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
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?
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
And now you're telling everyone
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

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 I strung you along
I told you when you asked
I knew this wouldn′t last
At least I could be honest about that
And now you're telling 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
