lyrics

Careful, careful. Oh you should've been careful with me.
You must have noticed that I'm fragile, fragile, after all I've worn my bleeding heart on this ripped up sleeve.

Honest, honest. I just assumed that you'd be honest with me.
You fashioned words into a promise, promise.
And I'd been searching for a reason to believe.
But oh, oh, I thought we had something good.
Oh, oh I must have misunderstood.

That shine in your eyes was merely a consolation prize.
You knew our ending from the start, any girl could play my part.
I heard you hum a melody, but it was someone else's song.
I felt your hand upon my back, but it was just moving me along.
Oh, I wanna blame you, but how can I blame you
when I'm the one who was wrong.

Sinking, sinking. Like a stone I have no defense against the ocean.
Crashing, crashing. Every wave reminds me I am not the one you've chosen. But oh, oh, I thought we had something good.
Oh, oh I must have misunderstood.

CHORUS

There were warning signs I missed.
Important steps I must have skipped.
You were a slope and once I skipped, kept on slipping slipping
