I used to think he loved me

Back when we got married

I used to think he knew me

But it's not his baby I carried

.

He used to be so nice to me

He used to be so sweet

I will never forget that day

He swept me off my feet

.

He was so clumsy and so cute

The way he was so scared

The way he was so paranoid

But yet he was prepared

.

He knew the words to his little speech

He knew them all too well

But the way his voice shook

He was nervous, I could tell

.

I think he thought he didn't deserve me

He didn't think it was right

He didn't think he was the one

That I wanted to sleep with at night

.

But he was wrong, very wrong

Because although he was strange

He was the one, the one I loved

And I wanted to take his name

.

I loved him once, I loved him twice

And he returned it for a while

There was no mistaking that love

As I walked down that aisle

.

Why I loved him is a mystery to most

But I loved him just because

He is amazing and you'd never believe

How flexible he is…or was

.

Eventually he started to forget

Everything we'd built

All our hopes and all our dreams

And he's the one who should have guilt

.

But it's me who suffers from it

Because of his lack of love and his neglect

And now what we had back then

Is all just a wreck
