I gave you my heart on a platter It was stupid I gave you my life like it mattered But you took it I know that people tell me that it's gonna take time But time feels like forever when you ain't by my side I was young and foolish for breaking the spell And now it just feels like I'm guilting myself I found every reason to spin this around Oh why, why, why, why I missed you so much more than I ever loved you I'm better at needing you now than when I had you Oh I, I know I complained But now you're all that I crave Maybe I just loved you more than I knew The truth is so hard to remember when it's fading And all I can think about is what worked, it's amazing It's funny how back then we always focused on the fact And now it seems like you're the best thing I ever had I was young and foolish for breaking the spell And now it just feels like I'm guilting myself I found every reason to spin this around Oh why, why, why, why I missed you so much more than I ever loved you I'm better at needing you now than when I had you Oh I, I know I complained But now you're all that I crave Maybe I just loved you more than I knew I know in my heart we're not meant to be If things were that good you'd be here with me Or maybe I ruined a perfect thing Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah I missed you so much more than I ever loved you I'm better at needing you now than when I had you Oh I, I know I complained But now you're all that I crave Maybe I just loved you more than I knew
