A gentleman was heaven-sent, I wanted it all of the time

You said I took up all the real estate inside your mind

I reached for the future you made just for me like a prize

But I must've heard you wrong when you said that this was for life

You said I was your baby

That you've never loved this hard

Now you just look right through me

Like an arrow through my heart

And I watch you give her what you wouldn't give me

And I thought you never could

Well, I guess I, guess I misunderstood

When you said I was special, I guess it just meant you were bored

When you said I gave you everything, guess it meant you wanted more

And maybe I, and maybe I should've known better before

But you did a good job at making me think I was yours

You said I was your baby

That you've never loved this hard

Now you just look right through me

Like an arrow through my heart

And I watch you give her what you wouldn't give me

And I thought you never could

Well, I guess I misunderstood

When I met your mom and dad and they said I was great

When you lived in New York, so you flew to L.A.

When you moved down the street so that we could be close

What a heartbreaking scene

What a terrible joke

When you gave me a drawer in your stupid frat room

So I gave you the world, and your friends knew it too

And I don't love you no more, we both know that's not true

But at least I loved better, better than you

You said I was your baby

Said what I wanted to hear

I hope you treat her better

So she don't feel what I feel

Yeah, I'll watch you give her what you wouldn't give me

And I thought you never could

Well, I guess I, guess I misunderstood
