Never Meant To Lead You On

(앨범: The Remedy - 2011)

J.E., y'all
Yeah
You know, people ask me all the time, "What you been doin'?"
I tell 'em, I've been growing up
And to me, that means growing out of a lot of childish things
So, to anybody I've hurt along the way, this is how I try to make amends

See, I know just why you're say (You're sad)
But that wasn't my intention
Baby, did I mention
Me and you just ain't that, girl
I know that it sounds real bad, girl
I hear you're working, going out
Word around town that you lost twenty pounds
And I'm sorry for the way it went down, girl
I never meant to bring you down

I guess I was just selfish, a little self-centered
An emotional cripple, I needed your comfort
Didn't want no commitment
All the things that I said to you, girl, I never meant them
I'm sorry

It's on me, it's on me
That I never shoulda led you on, girl
(Should I lie?)
Never shoulda led you on, girl
Never shoulda led you on, girl
It's on me, it's on me
That I never shoulda led you on, girl
Never shoulda led you on, girl
Never shoulda led you on, girl

Girl, I know I was wrong (Was wrong)
But I'm conflicted like a child, girl
In keeping you around and letting my ego just run wild, no
Hear my heart, don't you hear it crying out
Everything that was wrong was on me
I can see it and I know it all now

I guess I was just selfish (I was), a little self-centered
(You, yeah)
An emotional cripple, I needed your comfort (Yeah)
Didn't want no commitment (Ooh)
All the things that I said to you, girl, I never meant them
I'm sorry (Girl)

It's on me, it's on me
That I never shoulda led you on, girl
Never shoulda led you on, girl
Never shoulda led you on, girl
It's on me, it's on me
That I never shoulda led you on, girl
Never shoulda led you on, girl (No, no, no, no)
Never shoulda led you on, girl

(So sorry, sorry) Sorry that I did you wrong, girl
(So sorry, sorry) Shouldn't have led you on, girl
(So sorry, sorry) That's why I wrote this song, girl
(So sorry, sorry) To make right my wrongs, girl
(So sorry, sorry) Sorry that I did you wrong, girl
(So sorry, sorry) Shouldn't have led you on, girl
(So sorry, sorry) That's why I wrote this song, girl

I guess I was just selfish (Yes, I was, yeah), a little self-centered (Self-centered)
An emotional cripple (A cripple, yes, I was), I needed your comfort
Didn't want no commitment
All the things that I said to you (Said to you, yeah), girl, I never meant them
I'm sorry (Girl)

It's on me, it's on me
That I never shoulda led you on, girl
Never shoulda led you on, girl
(Said I'm sorry)
Never shoulda led you on, girl
(Never shoulda led) (Being so self-centered)
It's on me, it's on me
(Girl, I know you've been sad)
That I never shoulda led you on, girl
(I know I'm wrong, shoulda been there)
Never shoulda led you on, girl
(Shoulda told you what I had planned)
Never shoulda led you on, girl

Hey, mmm, ayy, mmm, oh, mmm
