Craig's Brother - Mistake of Caring lyrics

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've 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 chose 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 s**er when you see one And I must be s**er 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 learning how to recognize the truth, Finding I'm better off without you
