Took a break, needed space
I could've begged you to stay
But if this is really what you want
Then who am I say you're wrong?
And maybe I misunderstood
I could've sworn that you said
Baby, no one knows me like you do
And now it's like I don't know you

I'm pouring tears in a papercut
You're walking away from us
Like you don't even know I

Could've been someone who loved you
Could've been sitting in the passenger side
Making you laugh 'cause another year passed
And birthdays make you cry
I could've been someone who listened
Wanted so bad just to make it alright
I could've been someone who loved you
But now I'm just someone who tried
And I tried

Different clothes, different hair
I even tried not to care
I did anything to be your type
The version of me just you liked
'Cause neighborhoods and baby names
Yeah, I thought we were close but
Maybe I was miles ahead
Believing all the things you said

I'm pouring tears in a papercut
You're walking away from us
From all that we could've been
I could've been, I

Could've been someone who loved you
Could've been sitting in the passenger side
Making you laugh 'cause another year passed
And birthdays make you cry
I could've been someone who listened
Wanted so bad just to make it alright
I could've been someone who loved you
But now I'm just someone who tried
And I tried

I tried, and I tried
I tried, and I tried
I tried
