Tell Me I'm a Wreck

This song is definitely fitting what me and my ex were like. Like so accurate it's almost scary. But in general this song is about a guy that tried and a girl that didn't.

I could have been easier on you I could have been all you held on to I know I wasn't fair I tried my best to care about you (About you) (The guy could've been nicer to her but she definitely could've tried harder to be his one and only. He might not have been fair all of the time but he still tried hard to care about her.)

I know I could have been a better man But I always had to have the upperhand I'm struggling to see the better side of me (The guy has some psychological issues and always had to be in control. He knows he could change he's just having troubles doing so) But I can't take all your jabs and taunts You're pointing out my every fault And you wonder why I walked away (The girl always eggs him into an argument and calls out every little thing he does wrong, yet she wonders why he left her.)

When you tell me I'm a wreck You say that I'm a mess How could you expect anything less? (Expect anything less) (I think this is kind of an "I told you so" situation. He told her about his issues but she didn't listen and acted like it was all on purpose) You latched on to me Then cried I strung you along (self explanatory, the guy tried his hardest but all the girl did was complain.) I told you when you asked I knew this wouldn't last At least I could be honest about that (Honest about that) And now you're telling everyone How I only did you wrong I guess you never knew me at all (also self explanatory. He warned her they were probably going to break up and shouldn't even try. Now she's telling all her friends about supposedly what a bad boyfriend he is. This proves she never really even tried to understand him)

Remember on my twenty-first birthday You took me where we went on our first date? We stayed till closing time After four glasses of wine You started with a pointless argument You said that I forgot to compliment The dress you wore that night That I've seen a thousand times (awesome little story here and i could see my ex doing this same thing. It was supposed to be a special date for them and instead she made a big deal out of literally nothing. If he's seen the dress a ton before why should he have to say anything about it? she knows what he thinks about it already.)

But I think we just want different things I want space, you want a diamond ring Whatever made you think we were meant to be? (the guy thinks they fight cuz they just want different things. He wants space from all the things she does to hurt him and she's just staying with him because she wants fancy things.)

Still, I see you standing there Waiting 'round for me to fall (Waiting 'round for me to fall) Girl, you must be crazy Still believing you and me belong I guess you never knew me at all
(Even after everything she puts him through shes still waiting for him to come back to her. He calls her crazy for thinking he'd ever want her back after the pain she put him through. She never really knew anything about him)
