I always tried to keep you near me
I always tried to make things work
Now that the dust has settled i see that I was just a jerk
At first I didn't understand
Your reason for leaving
Was it my over controlling demand
That left you pissed and screaming
Left your soul there bleeding
Left me on the floor pleading

I repelled you away
Just like bug spray
I shouldn't have been so hard
I shouldn't have made you stay

Over obsessive behavior
Left a bitter flavor on my tongue
I don't blame you for running
I don't blame you for running away

Maybe its someone else that you preffered
Someone unlike me
Someone thats not a possesive bastard
Someone who can see
Exactly what you need
I cried for so long
And I've tried for so long
I don't think that I can go on
But I need to fess up
That I'm just a mess up
And I'm the only one that was wrong

I repelled you away
Just like bug spray
I shouldn't have been so hard
I shouldn't have made you stay

Over obsessive behavior
Left a bitter flavor on my tongue
I don't blame you for running
I don't blame you for running away

Now you haunt my dreams
Now you haunt my nightmares
Nothings what it seems
No one really cares
All the times I stood up for you
Even when I knew you weren't right
All the hard times that we've been through
Have been shattered, breaks the light

I repelled you away
Just like bug spray
I shouldn't have been so hard
I shouldn't have made you stay

Over obsessive behavior
Left a bitter flavor on my tongue
I don't blame you for running
I don't blame you for running away
