What I Put You Through

I saw you told the world you're a single girl

I won't lie that broke my heart

Thought we were the same but now I can't explain

How we got so far apart

Poison words from all your friends

I deserve the things they've said

Still ain't worse than what I'm saying in my own head

So tell me I'm a waste of love

Tell me that I'm not enough

Say you hope I see the truth

That I won't find no one like you

Tell me you don't care no more

When you know I can't let go

Beat my heart all black and blue

'Cause it ain't half as bad as what I put you through

Every single day I asked you to stay

When I should've let you go

Couldn't settle down but needed you around

Different worlds I wanted both

Girl, I know that it weren't fair

You can shame my every step

Still ain't worse than what I'm saying in my own head

So tell me I'm a waste of love

Tell me that I'm not enough

Say you hope I see the truth

That I won't find no one like you

Tell me you don't care no more

When you know I can't let go

Beat my heart all black and blue

'Cause it ain't half as bad as what I put you through

What I put you through

Put you through

I know you won't forgive me and you probably don't believe me

But this isn't easy

No this isn't easy

I swear it's like I'm grieving, like a part of me is leaving

And I can't forgive me

I hope you believe me

So tell me I'm a waste of love

Tell me that I'm not enough

Say you hope I see the truth

That I won't find no one like you

Tell me you don't care no more

When you know I can't let go

Beat my heart all black and blue

'Cause it ain't half as bad as what I put you through

Whoa

What I put you through

Yeah

What I put you through
