[Verse 1]
Thought I was done with this feeling
I really thought you could be him
Thought I was safe, hmm
You were the warmth that I needed
Like a breeze in the evening
And then you changed

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re all the same, yeah

[Chorus]

It’s too much to mend
You’re the heart that backed away
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?

[Verse 2]
And any choice you had worth making
I’d push you to take it
No questions asked, no doubt in my 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

[Chorus]
It’s too much to mend
But you’re the heart that backed away
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?
