And I didn't want to let you
Because I didn't want to feel this
And I'm not gonna fall apart, I won't

Because you promised me forever
Like a fool I believed you
Now I cry and I think of all I can say to keep you here

What did I do
What did I do wrong boy
What did I do
What did I do wrong

I don't know what I did
I don't know what I said
Just tell me the words and I'll sing them
What did I do
What did I do wrong

What did I do wrong
What did I

Even if you won't say so
Baby I can feel the pain grow
Even if you won't say so, it's changed

And your voice called on the phone
And the lies that can fool
With your hand on my jeans as you squeeze my thigh, but your kiss is frozen

What did I do
What did I do wrong boy
What did I do
What did I do wrong

I don't know what I did
I don't know what I said
Just tell me the words and I'll sing them
What did I do
What did I do wrong

What did I do wrong
What did I
What did I do

What did I do
What did I do wrong boy
What did I do
What did I do wrong

I don't know what I did
I don't know what I said
Just tell me the words and I'll sing them
What did I do
What did I do wrong
