[Verse 1]
I thought I'd know what to do
You thought I'd know it too

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Verse 2]
Thought I knew what I was in for
Turned out to be a whole lot more

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Verse 3]
There's give and there is take
I chose the wrong one by mistake

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Chorus]
It was about things big and small
You couldn't comprehend at all
About how you got involved
With a guy with that much gall
[Verse 4]
Thought I'd learn from my mistakes
Didn't know how many I'd make

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Verse 5]
So easy to blame someone else
Hard to point the finger at yourself

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Verse 6]
I'm afraid I agree with you
Give myself a scathing review

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Chorus]
Guess I was happier on my own
Guess I was worried about being alone
Condescending in my tone
I was flexible as a stone
[Verse 7]
You shot me a withering glance
When I asked for another chance

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Verse 8]
I'm sad to see you go
But I fucked it up, I know

[Refrain]
I was a bad boyfriend

[Outro]
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
Bad boyfriend
