I tried to be quiet
'Cause I talked more than you liked
I almost walked away to see if you'd put up a fight
Changed my taste in music and I watched the shows you did
I even put on makeup to see if you'll notice
Rearranged the parts of me
To better fit your mold
You're not who I fell in love with
You painted this picture just to destroy it
Oh, you wrote this story
And you watched it destroy me
I tried so hard to be patient when you asked for space
So I willingly gave it
Could've called us off
'Stead you strung me along
I shut out all my friends
While they tried so hard to warn me
You laughed as I slipped away
But I'll do it again happily
Rearranged the parts of me
To better fit your mold
You're not who I fell in love with
You painted this picture just to destroy it
Oh, you wrote this story
And you watched it destroy me
I tried so hard to be patient when you asked for space
So I willingly gave it
Could've called us off
'Stead you strung me along
And I'd appreciate it if you just told me the truth
It's okay not to want me, oh
But don't make me think you do
Can we go back to the very beginning
When you said my heart it was somethin' you needed
A fool, a fool for you
You let me down completely
When loving came easy and your words convinced me
Your lies I believed without ever thinking
Oh god, what have you done?
I'm breaking down in pieces
You're not who I fell in love with
You painted this picture just to destroy it
Oh, you wrote this story
And you watched it destroy me
I tried so hard to be patient when you asked for space
So I willingly gave it
Could've called us off
'Stead you strung me along
And I'd appreciate it if you just told me the truth
It's okay not to want me, oh
But don't make me think you do
