We Tried to Tell You

You shut down the wifi

You hide my car keys

You lock me out the back door

You tell me not to come home

It's nothing new with you

So many years abuse

and you still think it's cool

We tried to tell you

We tried to tell you

We tried to tell you

But you won't believe us

You won't believe us

I found someone new

Who's so much better than you

I walk around on fire

I smoke 

I smile

But it's not for you

I'm not for you

You saw me melting on the couch

Ecstasy of new love 

dripping from my mouth

You sat down and tried to touch me

But it's not for you

My love is not for you

Abuse is cruel

it breaks your heart

I'm a shiny new jewel

made clean by another start

Why don't you help me out

why don't you let me go

I know I'm too good to be true

but I'm not in love with you

We tried to tell you

We tried to tell you

We tried to tell you

But you won't believe us

You won't believe us
