You asked for time, 
I gave you that. 
Now you don't seem 
to love me back. 
I never meant 
to get so attached. 

You needed space, 
I let you go. 
All alone. 
How could I know 
that moving on 
ain't always slow? 

Things ended, but I never knew. 
Wasted so much time for you. 
Would have loved you through and through. 
Your sweatshirt on my skin at night, 
but you hold another girl so tight. 
When will I ever get love right? 

You kept me hanging 
when you left. 
Thought that my heart 
gave you rest. 
Never thought you'd leave me, 
never would have guessed. 

Am I supposed to
grow from this? 
Was there a warning 
sign I missed? 
Was it me you wanted 
when we kissed? 

Things ended, but I never knew. 
Wasted so much time for you. 
Would have loved you through and through. 
Your sweatshirt on my skin at night,  
but you hold another girl so tight. 
When will I ever get love right? 

Worst thing is that if I knew, 
I bet I'd still love you through and through. 
How I wish that wasn't true. 
You let me go, but I held on. 
I never knew your love was gone. 
Maybe I'll always get love wrong. 

Maybe I'll always get love wrong.  

'I Always Get Love Wrong' - 29/08/22.
