You were the one who wanted this from the start You offered me your ring before I offered my heart You have yourself convinced that I am what you need Who knew you'd have us figured out before you talked to me? I tried not to lead you on, but my best just shines When I put my nice friend face on It's a mess, you think too much of me I guess Now I'm the one who has to lay it out And let you down easy May I remind you that I never said one darn thing
That I thought would get this into your head But it's there now, you are smitten hands down And I'm the best to blame Because I'm just nice from the get go I tried not to lead you on But you misread me And I mistakenly smiled for too long It's a mess you think too much of me I guess Now I'm the one who has to lay it out I'm the one who has to bring it up I'm the one who has to clear it up And let you down easy
