Thought I was done with this feeling
Really thought you could be him
Thought I was safe
You were the warmth that I needed
Like a breeze in the evening
And then you changed
You're all the same
Yeah
It's too much to mend
You're the hug that had to end
Though I've tried to hold on
And if you knew me at all
You wouldn't try to keep me small
Who would do that to a friend
Let alone the one you love?
And any choice you had worth making
I'd push you to take it
No questions asked
No doubt in mind
But when they're mine
Yeah
You react like I'm crossing a line
I'm too much to handle and
Just dial it back a bit
Well, well I'm not having it
Babe
It's too much to mend
You're the hug that had to end
Though I've tried to hold on
And if you knew me at all
You wouldn't try to keep me small
Who would do that to a friend
Let alone the one you love?
