All I said is “You look beautiful!”
Something all (of) the world can see
You shook your head, then turned away from me
A strange way to disagree 

Then you told me all about your past
All the things he used to do
Hurtful, painful, scarring things he'd say
That you believed to be true 

Look through it all- what do you see?
If I said that I was crazy, would it be easier to believe?
A complicated history
If I said “I'll only hurt you!” Would it be easier to believe? 

You told me he was your first love
Things were wonderful to start
Then he wanted to control your life
Things began to fall apart 

He was insecure & jealous
So he took it out on you
Said he left you feeling worthless
Well, there's one thing you can do 

Look through it all- what do you see?
If I said that I was crazy, would it be easier to believe?
A complicated history
If I said “I'll only hurt you!” Would it be easier to believe?
