Verse 1
I’ve been turned down
More times than I can count
Make it through two dates
Then we’re on the outs
Never understood
Whether it was them or me
Crunched up all the numbers
Now I know why they leave
Pre Chorus
Hard to face the facts
It’s hard to face the facts, yeah
Chorus
I started it
Guess I tore us down
Couldn’t stop texting
Wanted you to be around
Guess we were one-sided
All the love came from me
I got too excited
That’s what made you leave
Post Chorus
I started it
(Guess I started it)
I started it
(Yeah, I started it)
Bridge
Wish you woulda spoken up
Don’t like how we ended up
Shoulda put your phone on DND
Then I woulda known, then I woulda known
That it was me,
It was meeeeee
Pre Chorus
Hard to face the facts
It’s hard to face the facts, yeah
Chorus
I started it
Guess I tore us down
Couldn’t stop texting
Wanted you to be around
Guess we were one-sided
All the love came from me
I got too excited
That’s what made you leave
Post Chorus
I started it
(Guess I started it)
I started it
(Yeah, I started it)
I started it
(Guess I started it)
I started it
(Yeah, I started it)
Outro

(Guess I tore us down, wanted you to be around)
(I started it, it’s hard to face the facts)
(Guess I tore us down, wanted you to be around)
(I started it, I was too excited)
(Guess I tore us down, wanted you to be around)
