I wish I had told you I think we could've worked this out if I'd explained it It bubbled over See I was holding back to see if things would change I tried to move you But you just stand there acting like you're stoned But you ain't stoned, you don't smoke I'd pry and pull you But we'd go nowhere fast and end up home See we call it home, but you lived alone
[Hook] And now I know That we were never meant to be Never meant to At least now I know That we were never meant to be I won't chase you
[Verse 2] See I'm no quitter babe If anything, overly committed babe Eventually a man gets bitter When the woman that he's with acts differently Kept holding you down like that The way that you'd push it right Throwing me off my axis Best thing I ever had But please believe me I would never tell no lie I'm not no liar babe You must have me confused Say you don't need me Then I guess that means we're done trying I'm not gon' try babe I won't come back for you
