"What I Put You Through" lyrics

I saw you told the world you're a single girl
I won't lie that broke my heart
Thought we were the same but now I can't explain
How we got so far apart

Poison words from all your friends
I deserve the things they've said
Still ain't worse than what I'm saying in my own head

So tell me I'm a waste of love
Tell me that I'm not enough
Say you hope I see the truth
That I won't find no one like you
Tell me you don't care no more
When you know I can't let go
Beat my heart all black and blue
'Cause it ain't half as bad as what I put you through

Every single day I asked you to stay
When I should've let you go
Couldn't settle down but needed you around
Different worlds I wanted both

Girl, I know that it weren't fair
You can shame my every step
Still ain't worse than what I'm saying in my own head

So tell me I'm a waste of love
Tell me that I'm not enough
Say you hope I see the truth
That I won't find no one like you
Tell me you don't care no more
When you know I can't let go
Beat my heart all black and blue
'Cause it ain't half as bad as what I put you through

What I put you through
Put you through

I know you won't forgive me and you probably don't believe me
But this isn't easy
No this isn't easy
I swear it's like I'm grieving, like a part of me is leaving
And I can't forgive me
I hope you believe me

So tell me I'm a waste of love
Tell me that I'm not enough
Say you hope I see the truth
That I won't find no one like you
Tell me you don't care no more
When you know I can't let go
Beat my heart all black and blue
'Cause it ain't half as bad as what I put you through

Whoa
What I put you through
Yeah
What I put you through
