(Verse 1)
Man I could?ve been cold, but I was days away.
I should?ve been bold and not bought into every word you?d say.
I could?ve been hard and fought like all the rest.
I should?ve been smart and not reached to comfort you with my best.
But I?I got sucked in.
(Chorus)
If I?m a jerk, I?ve been this way since birth.
And it?s you that makes you hurt.
I?ll make you realize, you realize,
I?m a jerk and I?ve been this way since birth.
And it?s you that makes you hurt.
I?ll make you realize, you realize that.
(Verse 2)
So I could?ve been wrong to offer you my help.
I should?ve been strong and left you there to handle things yourself.
I could?ve been gone by a clever some disguise.
I?ll be the one you who holds you here and makes you realize.
It?s you?you suck me in.
(Chorus Twice)
If I?m a jerk, I?ve been this way since birth.
And it?s you that makes you hurt.
I?ll make you realize, you realize,
I?m a jerk and I?ve been this way since birth.
And it?s you that makes you hurt.
I?ll make you realize, you realize that.
