BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT

I get caught up in stupid memories
Can't tell which ones are yours or mine
Now I know that you never loved me
Don't know how I could've been so blind

I tried every day to understand why you would do things that hurt me
Did you ever try to understand why the things you did hurt me?

Yeah, you had ten more years to figure this out
And I was always giving you the benefit of the doubt
Yeah I spent way too long trying to figure you out
Before I cut you out of my life

Guess it's on me that I let you keep letting me down
And that I always gave you the benefit of the doubt
Yeah I'm glad I'm done trying to figure you out
And you're out my life

But sometimes I get caught up in stupid memories
Wishing that I could turn back time
All I wanted was to be with you
I didn't care about the warning signs

And now you live with the girl you told me not to worry about
You know your sister still calls me to ask me about your whereabouts

And I tried every day to understand why you would do things that hurt me
Did you ever try to understand why the things you did hurt me oh oh

Does she try to understand you the way I used to?
Leave you alone like you always wanted me to?
Do you care that she doesn't care about you?
Did it feel worth it to you?

Yeah you had ten more years to figure this out
And I was always giving you the benefit of the doubt
Yeah I'm glad I'm done trying to figure you out
And you're out my life

Tell me, why did I waste my breath trying to defend you?
Tell me, why did I waste my breath trying to defend you?

Should've listened to my friends when they said this ain't right
Yeah it's on character for you to take the easy way out
Maybe in ten more years, you will have figured it out
But I'll be out of sight

Guess it's on me that I let you keep letting me down
And that I kept giving you the benefit of the doubt
But I'm so glad I'm done trying to figure you out
And you're out my life, yeah
