Lyrics
I never said that I was perfect
and I never promised you a thing
I?never tried to turn your head
though the bitter truth still stings
When?I watched you walk away
I?was still so very young
and I?regret not doing then
what I know I should have done
surely things haven't been that bad
surely things haven't been that bad
for you to talk to me like that
What you have to understand
is I could not sit and cry
when there was no point in asking
who, what, when or why
Never once heard you complain
so how was I to know
I?was doing something wrong
you should have let your feelings show
surely things haven't been that bad
surely things haven't been that bad
for you to talk to me like that
But I will not apologize
for the girl who opened up my eyes
I?was drifting out to sea
When she saved me
Got your angel
Got your demon too
demons whisper in your ear
I won't say another word to you
Until your head is clear
surely things haven't been that bad
surely things haven't been that bad
for you to talk to me like that
