Lyrics

Verse:
I'm not saying that we were perfect
That we’d have made it till the end
We were two fragile egos
Maybe better off as friends

But once I gave you what you needed
There was a time I was enough
You were sure this was forever
That this was more than just a crush

Now I know it's hard to love someone
Who doesn't feed your soul
But if we're so incompatible
Why did it take so long to go?

Chorus:
Was it my smile, was it my arms
Was it the way that I'd always have your back?
Was the faith I had in you, all the gigs I drove you to
Was it the trips we used to take
Or all the love we used to make
How I adored your every single song
If I wasn't what you needed
What took you so long

Verse:
Baby you didn't do enough talking
Maybe I just talked too much
But I would have tried to listen
Had you tried to stay in touch
But when he offered what you wanted
Oh you didn't even try
And you swapped this perfect body
For a really ugly guy

Now I know it's hard to love someone
Who doesn't feed your soul
But if we're so incompatible
Why did it take so long to go?

Chorus:
Was it my smile, was it my arms
Was it the way that I'd always have your back?
Was the faith I had in you, all the gigs I drove you to
Was it the trips we used to take
Or all the love we used to make
How I adored your every single song
If I wasn't what you needed
What took you so long

Bridge:
You hedged your bets and hoped that someone else would make the call
The coward's way is to decide to make no choice at all

Chorus:
Was it my smile, was it my arms
Was it the way that I'd always have your back?
Was the faith I had in you, all the gigs I drove you to
Was it the trips we used to take
Or all the love we used to make
How I adored your every single song
If I wasn't what you needed
What took you so long
