[Verse 1]
Baby, i know i'm never perfect, but i'm trying
Wish i were better with the words i can't find
But you don't give me a chance before you start crying
So now we're fighting instead of having a good time
And you never wanna hear me out
Please, before you hit the breeze
At least would you tell me that you still love me
Tongue tied like stage fright
This was supposed to be date night
And you wanna turn away right now
[Chorus]
I wish you knew the way that you hurt me when you walk away
I really wish you knew that it's so hard loving you
If we could just go back to the way it used to be
Before i took from you and you took from me
I wish that i could give you what you need
[Verse 2]
Baby, i'm not perfect, but you're not either
Maybe we need to step back, take a breather
Let's get away from all this artificial sweetener
But if you're talking about love i'm a believer, i'm a believer
We're grown up now, this isn't our first fight
Made it through somehow, used to talk until first light
Now we're careening off this high speed turnpike
But it's still just you and me, i know we can make it work right
[Chorus]
I wish you knew the way that you hurt me when you walk away
I really wish you knew that it's so hard loving you
If we could just go back to the way it used to be
Before we got this far, the screams, the scars
But babe, i still just want all of you
[Bridge]
All of you for me
And all of me for you
I can't stand to be apart
Though you break my heart again
[Verse 3]
Why'd we have to make it so complicated
I like the way that it used to be
Trying to be better and whatever
But a tender touch coming from you to me
Could really help me remember
That we had something more than just animosity
Babe, with this relationship, i've stayed legit
But it's still a monstrosity
By the thousands make mountains out of molehills
That amount to nothing but shed tears
And it's sounding like you don't want me around
But if i bounce we both know it's gonna get weird
How'd we get here, it's like we're blinded
Traveling a path and forgetting where time went
This is life, when you twist the knife
And i'm sorry for what i did
[Chorus]
But i wish you knew the way that you hurt me when you walk away
I really wish you knew that it's so hard loving you
If we could just go back to the way it used to be
Before i took from you and you took from me
But babe, i still just want all of you
[Bridge]
All of you for me
And all of me for you
I can't stand to be apart
Though you break my heart again
[Outro]
