I played by the rules
You set the pace
I gave you my number
And you called every day
I gave you my hand
And you led the way
I gave you my heart
And you led me astray
You said it's what you wanted
That I was what you need
You once held me so tight
That I could hardly breathe
You once held me close
And wouldn't let me leave
You wanted me to stay
As you slipped away
If it wasn't what you wanted
Why didn't you say?
If it wasn't what you needed
Then throw it away
Cause sometimes it don't work
And that's just the way
But anything was better
Than the guessing game it became
