Britney Was Right

I know that I acted like a monster
Until the day that you went away
I've finally found all the words I meant to
Meant to say

You were an angel
That I took for granted
And now I realize that I wasn't worth your time
I was a poison
With too many chances
And all I did was hold you back and make you cry

So tell me why I learned too late
All of our fights just ate away

I know that I can't
Go back and redo this
(Seven times seventy's more than a fair shake, they say)
But I hope that you never have to think of me
Hopelessly lost and
Addicted to conflict
(The theatre is empty, the stage lights are staring at me)
The one that I once was is only a bad dream

So tell me why I learned too late
All of our fights just ate away

All of our plans were crushed under the weight
Of all my anger and insecurities
Insecurities

I know that I acted like a monster
Until the day that you went away
I finally found all the words I meant to
Meant to say

So tell me why I learned too late
All of our fights just ate away at you
