Took you over to my house to meet my family
Introduced you to them, saying we'd get married
Then I looked you in the eye and said, it's just a joke
Then I kissed you and you smiled, but I should've known
When I said that kinda thing, you'd be excited
Had you hoping maybe one day I would mean it
Always thought I'd only make a fool out of myself
Now this fool has gone and made one out of somebody else
You're right, the flowers shouldn't just be for apologies
You're right, I shouldn't let my words fall out so carelessly
I didn't choose to give you space because I needed it
I was just too scared I couldn't change and even if
I could never be the type of man that you deserve
Kills me that I hurt you and I don't know what is worse
The version of me in your head was too good to be true
Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you
Couldn't bring myself to tell you that it wouldn't work
Sabotaged the two of us, so you would say it first
You can hate me, you can blame me, I deserve it
It took losing everything and now I'm learning
I know my heart was closed, I hope you keep yours open
And if you found someone, I hope that they can hold it
All the pain I caused, it still keeps me up at night
I'm hoping one day that's a person I don't recognize
You're right, the flowers shouldn't just be for apologies
You're right, I shouldn't let my words fall out so carelessly
I didn't choose to give you space because I needed it
I was just too scared I couldn't change and even if
I could never be the type of man that you deserve
Kills me that I hurt you and I don't know what is worse
The version of me in your head was too good to be true
Young people fall for the wrong people, guess my one was you

If there's anything I learned that I should watch myself
Or watch the people that I love, end up with someone else
