You Were The One

You said you weren’t happy

Said the spark had disappeared Said somewhere along the way I stopped

being what you needed here Funny,

I remember differently

I remember making every plan

You said, "Maybe,

maybe next week" Then somehow I became the problem again

You called it boring I called it trying You called it nothing

I called it time And if you wanted something different

You could’ve said it to my face Instead you let me take

the blame For every plan you walked away from You said I

wasn’t making you happy

You said you were bored with me

But who was the one canceling every Friday night?

Who kept saying, “Maybe,

we’ll see”?

You can rewrite every memory

Make me the reason that you left

But don’t tell me I stopped trying When you never tried at

all

You said I wasn’t making you happy

Baby, you were the one who canceled

(you canceled, yeah)

I had the places picked out

You had another excuse I kept asking what you wanted You kept

saying, “Anything’s cool” Then you turned around and told me That we

never did anything Like I wasn’t sitting there Waiting for you to

actually show up and mean it

You called it boring

I called it waiting

You called me distant

I called it patience

And maybe I got tired Of chasing someone who wouldn’t stay But

don’t confuse my giving up With me pushing you away

You said I wasn’t making you happy

You said you were bored with me

But who was the one

canceling every Friday night?

Who kept saying, “Maybe,

we’ll see”?

You can rewrite every memory

Make me the reason that you left

But don’t tell me I stopped trying When you never tried your

best You said I wasn’t making you happy

Baby, you were the one who canceled

Maybe I wasn’t perfect Maybe I could’ve done more

But love isn’t one person Dragging someone through the door You wanted

something exciting But you wouldn’t meet me halfway You can call me

boring now But you were the one who walked away

You said I wasn’t making you happy Like I was the reason

you changed Like I didn’t spend all that time Trying to keep

us the same You said you were bored with me Well,

maybe now I understand You weren’t bored with the relationship

You were bored with putting in your part

So go ahead and tell your story Make me the villain if

you want But when somebody asks what happened

Tell them the truth

for once:

You said I wasn’t making you happy

But you were the one who canceled

You said I was the problem.

I think you just got tired of trying.

There’s a difference..
