I took advantage of what I had

And turned it into something bad

When you were sad

I was only mad

For you had loved me at once

And I had been a dunce

Not to notice the spark

That glowed in the dark

But you still held on

To what I thought was wrong

When it was right

I felt too tight

Your love for me had been too deep

I kept searching for things that were out of reach

Tried to turn you into something you're not

Still you never put me on the spot

Your demands for love that I thought was not there

Were as worthless as actually seeing the air

Now as I think back a needle pierces my heart

For I had truly loved you right from the start.
