I was a jealous man, I simply couldn’t understand, Why anyone would want to love a wreck like me. I’d watch you smile through your doubts, my heart all tangled up in strands, But I tore it all apart with secrets I couldn’t keep. How many times did I stand and lie, only to get caught and cry, For my infidelity, for the trust I broke in two? I’d beg for forgiveness, but the truth cut like a knife, Every tear you shed was a wound I gave to you. Chorus It only makes sense, that you’d pretend, to really love me, When my heart was a storm, too wild to hold you near. How can you love when you’ve felt so betrayed by me? When in truth, I was to lose the larger part to see. I lost you, darlin’, ‘cause I couldn’t love me. Verse 2 We’d sit on that old porch swing, under a sky of fading light, You’d try to pull me close, but I’d push you out of sight. My fears built walls so high, I couldn’t see your heart was true, I chased shadows in the dark, and lost the best of you. I’d weave my lies in moonlight, thinkin’ I could hide the shame, But your eyes saw through me, and I’ve only got myself to blame. Every step I took away, was a step toward my regret, Now I’m haunted by the love I’ll never forget. Chorus It only makes sense, that you’d pretend, to really love me, When my heart was a storm, too wild to hold you near. How can you love when you’ve felt so betrayed by me? When in truth, I was to lose the larger part to see. I lost you, darlin’, ‘cause I couldn’t love me. Bridge Now I’m sittin’ in this bar, with a bottle and your ghost, Every sip reminds me of the one’s I hurt the most. I thought I didn’t deserve you, so I broke what we had built, Now I’m drownin’ in the wreckage of my guilt. Verse 3 I see you in the distance, movin’ on with someone new, Your laughter’s like a melody, but it don’t sing for me, it’s true. I was a jealous man, too blind to see the love you gave, Now I’m left with empty hands and a heart I couldn’t save. Chorus It only makes sense, that you’d pretend, to really love me, When my heart was a storm, too wild to hold you near. How can you love when you’ve felt so betrayed by me? When in truth, I was to lose the larger part to see. I lost you, darlin’, ‘cause I couldn’t love me. Outro Yeah, in truth, I was to lose the larger part to see, I lost you, darlin’, ‘cause I couldn’t love me.
