I began to reminisce about the diamonds in the rough
Though there was only ever really one
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
I tried to fix you when you were perfect
Every piece in order but I wasn't working
So I put the blame
(it's all)
On you
(my fault)
Cause I couldn't see us through
You gave me your all and It never enough
I took and took there's nothing left but a husk
And that isn't right
(it's just)
So
(not right)
I'll do what I must
(do what I have to)
Because I could have done better by you
(I'm doing this for you)
Now go find someone better than me
(for me or for you)
The wicked games I played
The promises betrayed
It's time for me to leave
(broken promises)
Oh baby I'm setting you free
(I'm setting you free)
I'm setting you free
Free
He's nothing like me
(not at all)
And I think that's the best part
(maybe)
You're taking off but you're scared
Cause it's right back to the start
(baby girl)
And you're looking for bits and pieces of our past
You beg and you plead
But I can't take you back
(my baby girl)
I don't deserve you
And I refuse
(I won't hurt you anymore)
Because I should have done better by you
(I don't wanna hurt you anymore)
Now you're with someone better than me
(And he won't hurt you)
Though his eyes don't shine like mine
(the way I did)
And you're saying that it's fine
(he won't hurt you)
Stop thinking of me
(the way I do)
Why won't you run free
Why won't you run away from me?
Oh baby, run free
Far, far away from me
Far, far away from me
Far away from me
Far away from me
My diamond in the rough
