"Couldn't Be There For You" lyrics

All these years I thought I knew you
But I couldn't be there for you that night
I saw it fade in your eyes
Tried to believe all your lies
Before I knew it you had made up your mind

Anything, anything better than this, you're hard to kiss
Anything, anything, anyone other than you, for me

I was there with you
I thought I knew we'd never lose
I thought I knew we'd always choose us, I was wrong
You were there with me
I thought you knew that you were free
You let me go, you let me be, oh I was wrong
Couldn't be there for you
Couldn't be there for you

All these years I thought I knew you
But you played me and you made me break down
It's getting louder inside
I can't control my desire
And now I love someone who left me behind

Anything, anything better than this, you're hard to kiss
Anything, anything, anyone other than you, for me

I was there with you
I thought I knew we'd never lose
I thought I knew we'd always choose us, I was wrong
You were there with me
I thought you knew that you were free
You let me go, you let me be, oh I was wrong
Couldn't be there for you
Couldn't be there for you

Oh, did you always know that our time was running out?
Did you always leave yourself open to somebody else?
And I always gave what I could, tell me did you?
How could you give it up?

I was there with you
I thought I knew we'd never lose
I thought I knew we'd always choose us, I was wrong
You were there with me
I thought you knew that you were free
You let me go, you let me be, oh I was wrong
Couldn't be there for you
Couldn't be there for you
Couldn't be there for you
Couldn't be there for you
