You were never the one to explain
Exactly what was on your brain
I should have realized then
The thought of you and I
Probably never crossed your mind
Guess that's just wishful thinking
On my part
No, you were never the one
To make things easy
It always had to be so hard, oh

It took me so long to realize
You never were the one for me
No matter how much I wanted to believe
I was just leading myself on
Thinking that you were what I needed
But it took me so long to see
You never even wanted me, no
'Cause you never were the one for me

You never were the one for waiting
You were so impatient
Always had to have it your way
I never had a say
Deep down I always knew
You never were the one for compromise
I guess I should've known
What I was getting myself into
When I first looked into your eyes

It took me so long to realize
You never were the one for me
No matter how much I wanted to believe
I was just leading myself on
Thinking that you were what I needed
But it took me so long to see
You never even wanted me, no
'Cause you never were the one for me

(You never, never were the one) x4

No, you never were the one for sharing
How you truly felt
You should've told me right then and there
I could go to hell
Instead you decided
To drag me right through it
How could be so damn inconsiderate
You never were the one for sympathy
But all you had to do
Was pretend you cared for me

It took me so long to realize
You never were the one for me
No matter how much I wanted to believe
I was just leading myself on
Thinking that you were what I needed
But it took me so long to see
You never even wanted me, no
'Cause you never were the one for me

(You never, never were the one) x4
...For me
