  • Thought I was done with this feeling
    I really thought you could be him
    Thought I was safe, hmm
    You were the warmth that I needed
    Like a breeze in the evening
    And then you changed

    You're all the same, yeah

    It's too much to mend
    You're the part that had to end
    Though I've tried to hold on
    And, if you knew me at all
    You wouldn't try to keep me small
    Who would do that to a friend, let alone the one you love?

    And any choice you had worth making
    I'd push you to take it
    No questions asked, no doubt in mind
    But, when they're mine, yeah
    You react like I'm crossing a line
    I'm too much to handle, and, "Just dial it back a bit"
    Well, well, I'm not having it, babe

    It's too much to mend
    You're the part that had to end
    Though I've tried to hold on
    And, if you knew me at all
    You wouldn't try to keep me small
    Hmm, who would do that to a friend, let alone the one you love?
