Trial and Error Lyrics

You wanted me to surrender

And let you take me over

And drag me to the hole you dug for me

Now I can see what I left behind

And I can't take back the wasted

Time I spent of pleasing you

It seemed to me that's all I'd do

I wanted you to see

That I can't be what you wanted me to be

I'll never let you alter

Who I am within

I wanted you to see

That you won't get what you wanted out of me

If I could do it over

We never would have been

You followed suit like they all do

And now I know the real you

Funny how I'm drawn to misery

You would create to tear apart

Through time I found your beating

Heart was never made for two

So tell me what was I to you

I wanted you to see

That I can't be what you wanted me to be

I'll never let you alter

Who I am within

I wanted you to see

That you won't get what you wanted out of me

If I could do it over

We never would have been

We never would have been

I won't look back in anguish this time

'Cause I'm better off

Without you here

No I won't

No I won't

Think of you as I'm leaving you behind

And I hope that the next guy

Tears your soul out worse than you did mine

'Cause I've seen the way you love

And I've seen it long enough
