I've been tryin' to get us back to how it was

Feelings collidin', now it's hard for you to trust

You've been hurt deeply, but if you take a chance on me

I hope that you'll see trustin' again is what you need, oh

I had you cryin' on my shoulder

I embraced all of your flaws

Was there when no one would hold ya

Don't need no round of applause

Told you that I'll be your hero

You say that I'm a lost cause

In your eyes, I'm less than zero

Your words cut deep like claws

You are far from who I thought you'd be

I didn't expect such sudden cruelty

Now I regret wearin' my heart on my sleeve

I never thought I'd see the day you leave

I had you cryin' on my shoulder

I embraced all of your flaws

Was there when no one would hold ya

Don't need no round of applause

Told you that I'll be your hero

You say that I'm a lost cause

In your eyes, I'm less than zero

Your words cut deep like claws

Band-Aids and tissues

You've got issues

Now you've left scars on my heart

I've been tryin' to confide in you

But that tore us apart

I kept on givin' hopin' you'd give in

I gave up on playin' it smart

Now you're leaving without a reason

Was this your plan from the start?

I had you cryin' on my shoulder

I embraced all of your flaws

Was there when no one would hold ya

Don't need no round of applause

Told you that I'll be your hero

You say that I'm a lost cause

In your eyes, I'm less than zero

Your words cut deep like claws

When you were down, I was the only one helpin' you out

(Deep like claws, deep like claws)

If the script flipped now, tell me, baby, would you still be around?

(Deep like claws, deep like claws)
