Saw you walk across the room
Everything about you feel the same
Your head thrown back as your sister made a joke
Your eyes held a sparkle I never seen before

I gotten us to where we are
Broken and spent
Your mom called to curse me out
And I knew then that you were crying your eyes out

We were messy from the very beginning
I couldn't give what you wanted
And you weren't willing to take anything I gave

It's your selfness and my pride
The way you would curse my name
I know I was messed up deep inside
I gave the warning signs like a red light flashing in your eyes

I said those words out of my own mouth
And you replied I could be the fixer you need
Now the alcohol is messing you up inside

Ten months, a new sparkle
I guess that one of the men you keep posting finally got it right
And I was just another guy you thought you could love

It's messy, the story we get to tell all those nosy people
The difference is, you the hero in mine and I'm the villain in yours
How can you expect me to love you
When you never saw me but rather what I can be

Honey, you never loved the flaws
Never never wanted to fix the broken
You were aiming for perfection in a relationship that should have never been

Yet, you played hero and fell so deeply
But I'm just guy
And if did not want to see me cry
Then my weak ass was going to move on

Glad that messiness finally brought a sparkle to your eyes
I applaud the new man for putting up with you
Time will tell if he shuts you out
