I Forgot to Be Your Lover

(Intro)
To all the one's who came and left
To the one who stayed that I left
And to the one's to come, I apologize
I can forget sometimes

(Verse 1)
To the one's who came and left, I understand
I guess y'all are on a hunt for a perfect man
I've been castaway, I'm uncharted lands
But the fact is women bounce to another man
I offer my world in exchange for an awkward glance
It was clear that her heart had other plans
Pain arises when digging dirt from the past
I use the pain to play my role in the cast
We never think about it, only focused on the moment
We let them cry on the shoulder that's frozen
They always leave me, to obtain the "hard to get"
"No hard feelings?" like it's fucking hard to forget
You left me broken down, swept up, and left in pieces
After you had me praising you more than I did Jesus
What exactly you want from me? Is nothing
It's water under the bridge, cause we're all said and done with

(Verse 2)
To the one who stayed that I left, I apologize
All I did was try to be the perfect guy
I could never play the role, cause I was young and dumb
But we took bits and pieces of our soul mate to come
You taught me a lot, about love and myself
And when we split, I was a crumb on the shelf
Insignificant, broken down like a spec of dust
But we learned to move on, like the rest of 'em
Granted, I haven't had a girl since you
I miss the way I felt, I feel like I'm due
In the friend zone, in each girl's relationship
It's frozen shackles, I won't ever escape it/
But the point of this verse is to simply say
I realize it's best that we went our seperate ways
I honestly was a dick those final days
I'm sorry, there coulda been a better way/

(Verse 3)
To the one's to come, let me warn you
I'm easy to win over, willing to adore you
I'm running low on hopes to tell you the truth
But it doesnt even help that I'd lasso you the moon
I'd be burning candle, on a savage winter night
If you're feeling lost - I'd bring you close and hold you tight
Don't let me feel like I have no chance
From the get-go, I'd tell you that I love romance
How you take what I say, is opinion
Guys say the same thing to break the hearts of women
Guys like that, you'll find 'em by the millions
But my heart's big enough for you and your friends to swim in/
So I step aside, and offer a helping hand
For you to see past me, and get hurt by another man
Seeming like you're addicted to the pain
As long as you'll want me, one day
