Without hope, drowning in misery I couldn't help but notice you and take some sympathy So I tried to give you a helping hand, but somehow you wound up taking more than I had ever planned, and now it seems;
For all the messes that I made, I was never afraid of sharing But you took all that you could take, I guess I made the mistake of caring
I know that I shouldn't be so surprised, I should've seen the malice in those puppy-dog eyes Maybe I just choose to ignore my fears, but somehow I fell victim to your crocodile tears and now I know...
...why your weakness seems so odd. 'Cause it's just a facade you're wearing Of all the rules that I could break,
my biggest mistake was caring for you
And I know you too well my friend, to let you knock me off my horse again Perhaps you don't know what you've done, still, you know a sucker when you see one And I must be sucker number one
For all the messes that I made, I was never afraid of sharing But you took all that you could take, I guess I made the mistake of caring for you
For you, oh, I've been a bigger fool than I believed Am I wearing a target on my back? Or a sign that says "easily deceived"? I'm looking and I recognize the truth, I'm finding I'm better off without you
