"What Could Be Worse" lyrics

I used to think of love as an impossible defeat
As if I had a point of view that no one else could see
But it takes one to know one and you are just like me

At least that's what I would think when we'd go driving in your car
Listening to the songs that we hold close to the heart
But our hearts were on our sleeves and it only ever leaves us in the dark

And I've been blessed with this feeling that you've labeled a curse
You say that I've been cruel to you, you tell me that it hurts
But all I wanna know is what could be worse

Than small talk about your girlfriends
And love lost on a flame still burning
But I'm not gonna waste another moment
Picking you up while you put me down

You say you've laid down your life just a few too many times
You've waited for that someone but those stars don't align
At least you have me, your best friend and nothing more than that right
But who'd you call when you were drunk last night

And I know I'm a fool
For wasting even a breath on you
But I must admit
Yeah, this is poetic justice at it's finest

I'm blessed with this feeling that you've labeled a curse
You say that I've been cruel to you, you tell me that it hurts
But all I wanna know is what could be worse

Than small talk about your girlfriends
And love lost on a flame still burning
But I'm not gonna waste another moment
Picking you up while you put me down
So let go, it's time for you to see that I don't
I don't need you, believe me
That all this time that I've been afraid to say what I mean
I knew your sorry heart could never change

Yeah, all I want to know is what could be worse
Yeah, all I want to know is what could be worse

Than small talk about your girlfriends
And love lost on a flame still burning
But I'm not gonna waste another moment
Picking you up while you put me down
So let go, it's time for you to see that I don't
I don't need you, believe me
That all this time that I've been afraid to say what I mean
I knew your sorry heart could never change
