Couldn't Stay

I wish I'd been patient
I wish I'd been more kind
I wish I stopped to think about
What was really on my mind

You were so good with me and you only got better with time
And I took a step back, I abandoned the climb
I don't understand why you stayed with me so long
Your heart is so innocent, it always made me feel so wrong
And I couldn't do that, I couldn't stay
I couldn't mess you about that way
And it's not your fault, it's the pressure
Making me feel I could never measure up to who you wanted me to be
You looked and me and saw someone else
Someone I couldn't see

I wish I'd been patient
I wish I'd been more kind
I wish I stopped to think about
What was really on my mind

It's not your fault, baby
It's all in my head, baby
I overthink, hazey
You were just you, baby

And I can't even promise that I'm gonna stay
So lock the door behind you and look the other way
I don't want you to hate me and take your love away
I just need you to know that there are things I couldn't say
I couldn't hold you back
I couldn't take the wheel
When I spent so long
Controlling how you feel

It's not your fault, baby
It's all in my head, baby
I overthink, hazey
You were just you, baby

It's not your fault, baby
It's all in my head, baby
I overthink, hazey
You were just you, baby

It's not your fault, baby
It's all in my head, baby
I overthink, hazey
You were just you, baby

I know I really hurt you
But you really hurt me too
And it's just not up to me
To change what we're going through

I wish I'd been patient
I wish I'd been more kind
I wish I stopped to think about
What was really on my mind
