I've always felt a little bit lonely.
I've always felt a little lost.
I've always felt the need to hide away,
To a place I thought I'd be safe.

I've always felt the need to run.
I've always felt the need to leave.
The path I took led to sorrow;
Same old, same old tomorrow.

But you showed me a garden.
And you showed me a life.
You pulled me up.
Guess that's why I feel this way tonight.

Now to be honest, I don't who to blame;
The anger's lost on me.
To be honest, there were signs I guess I just didn't want to see.
But in my defense
The way you acted,
The way you stared at me.
Well in my defense
The way you smiled
& laughed at everything.

'Cause you showed me a garden.
And you brought me to life.
You pulled me up out of this hole.
Guess that's why I feel this way tonight.

And I just want to know,
For the record before I go,
Did you ever see / anything we could be?

Did you know from the start you played with my heart?
Did you know I loved the way you say my name?
Did you know from the start that you'd break my heart?

But in my defense,
OH- in my defense.

But in my defense,
The way you acted.
OH- in my defense.
The way you smiled. [x2]

And you showed me a garden,
Though you showed me a life,
You brought me out of this darkness,
But I played my cards like a fool.
Guess that's why I feel this way tonight.

Guess that's why I feel this way tonight.

But to be honest…
My first heartbreak and it wasn't even an relationshp, wow...
