I though I'd know what to do
You thought I'd know it too
I was a bad boyfriend
Thought I knew what I was in for
Turned out to be a lot more
I was a bad boyfriend
There's give and there is take
I chose the wrong one by mistake
I was a bad boyfriend

It was about things big and small
You couldn't comprehend at all
About how you got involved
With a guy with that much gall

Thought I'd learn from my mistakes
Didn't know how many I'd make
I was a bad boyfriend
So easy to blame someone else
Hard to point the finger at yourself
I was a bad boyfriend
I'm afraid I agree with you
Give myself a scathing view
I was a bad boyfriend

Guess I was happier on my own
Guess I was worried about being alone
Condescending in my tone
I was flexible as a stone

You shot me a withering glance
When I asked for another chance
I was a bad boyfriend
I'm so sad to see you go
But I fucked it up, I know
I was a bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend...
