misunderstood

A gentleman was heaven-sent, I wanted it all of the time
You said I took up all the real estate inside your mind
I reached for the future you made just for me like a prize
But I must've heard you wrong when you said that this was for life
You said I was your baby, that you've never loved this hard
Now you just look right through me like an arrow through my heart
And I watch you give her what you wouldn't give me
And I thought you never could
Well, I guess I, guess I misunderstood
When you said I was special, I guess it just meant you were bored
When you said I gave you everything, guess it meant you wanted more
And maybe I, maybe I should've known better before
But you did a good job of making me think I was yours
You said I was your baby, that you've never loved this hard
Now you just look right through me like an arrow through my heart
And I watch you give her what you wouldn't give me
And I thought you never could
Well, I guess I misunderstood
When I met your mom and dad, and they said I was great
When you lived in New York, so you flew to L.A.
When you moved down the street so that we could be close
What a heartbreaking scene
What a terrible joke
When you gave me a drawer in your stupid frat room
So I gave you the world, and your friends knew it too
And I don't love you no more, we both know that's not true
But at least I love better, better than you
You said I was your baby, said what I wanted to hear
I hope you treat her better so she don't feel what I feel
Yeah, I'll watch you give her what you wouldn't give me
And I thought you never could
Well, I guess I, guess I misunderstood
