R&B, slow burning groove about an old friendship.

lyrics

Verse:
I wanted to be
I wanted to do something nice for you

I thought I could change
Your streak of bad days if I tried to

(I thought)
If only I could make you smile
For the first time in a while
Then I'm doing something right

I want to find your inner child
Something for her peace of mind
If that's alright with you

Chorus:
But you didn't like it, no
But you didn't want it, babe
I guess I should've known it
That you would turn my loving away

You didn't like it, no
But you didn't want it, babe
I should've known it, oh
That you would turn my loving away, away

Verse:
You were so selfish
I tried to ignore it
You made it hard to

No, I couldn't help it
You acted to helpless
I tried to save you

(I thought)
If only I could take your pain
Put it on and wear the weight
Then one day I did

I want to give a piece of me
Paint white roses on my sleeve
and tear it for you

Chorus:
But you didn't like it, no
But you didn't want it, babe
I guess I should've known it
That you would turn my loving away

You didn't like it, no
But you didn't want it, babe
I should've known it, oh

That you would turn my loving away, away, away (x4)
(You would've thrown my lovin', you would've thrown my loving ah, you would've thrown my lovin')
