[Verse 1]
Did you really wanna leave me
And break my heart?
I wore the blame like bruises
Right from the start
Underneath so many scars
I held it in
I bit my tongue, I bled in silence
Again and again
[Pre-Chorus]
I was trying to reach you
Through the broken glass
Every word came out crooked
Every look went past
I kept the door unlocked
Even when it burned
I was lost in the fallout
Still I never learned
[Chorus]
Did you really wanna leave me?
Did you really wanna leave me?
I never meant to hurt you
I’m misunderstood
But I will always love you
I will always love you
Even in the wreckage
I swear I loved you good
[Verse 2]
You saw me at my worst
And called it my truth
I was all sharp edges
And an empty room
If I raised my voice, I trembled
If I pulled away
It was fear in my hands
Not the words I’d say
[Pre-Chorus]
I was trying to reach you
Through the broken glass
Every word came out crooked
Every look went past
I kept the door unlocked
Even when it burned
I was lost in the fallout
Still I never learned
[Chorus]
Did you really wanna leave me?
Did you really wanna leave me?
I never meant to hurt you
I’m misunderstood
But I will always love you
I will always love you
Even in the wreckage
I swear I loved you good
[Bridge]
If you look through the damage
There’s a pulse in me
A little light left shaking
Wanting to be seen
I’m not asking for pity
I’m asking you to know
I was breaking in slow motion
And I let it show
[Final Chorus]
Did you really wanna leave me?
Did you really wanna leave me?
I never meant to hurt you
I’m misunderstood
But I will always love you
I will always love you
Even in the wreckage
I swear I loved you good
Did you really wanna leave me?
Did you really wanna leave me?
