You saw a future, I was looking for an exit
On different pages and I don't know how we missed it
Falling out of love while still trying to fix it
Till it ended (hmm)

You can tell your friends that I was the bad guy
I let it go too long, that's my fault, I
Know the story went a different way in your mind
Oh, I'm sorry, I hope you know

I hate myself for the part I played
Said my piece then I dug my grave
I made my bed now alone I lay
Know it kills me that I couldn't be
A happy ending
I couldn't be a happy ending, oh

All of the promises I made, know that I meant them
All the I love you's that I said were not pretending
I really thought that this was it until I didn't
Hey, I didn't

You can tell your friends that I was the bad guy
I let it go too long, that's my fault, I
Know the story went a different way in your mind
Oh, I'm sorry, I hope you know

I hate myself for the part I played
Said my piece then I dug my grave
I made my bed now alone I lay
Know it kills me that I couldn't be
A happy ending

Another lesson learned
Another memory burned
(No, I couldn't be)
Another lesson learned (I couldn't be)
Another memory burned
Another lesson learned
Another memory burned
Another lesson learned
Another memory burned

I hate myself for the part I played
I said my piece then I dug my grave
I made my bed now alone I lay
Know it kills me that I couldn't be
A happy ending
