I always tried to keep you near me   I always tried to make things work   Now that the dust has settled i see that I was just a jerk   At first I didn't understand   Your reason for leaving   Was it my over controlling demand   That left you pissed and screaming   Left your soul there bleeding   Left me on the floor pleading      I repelled you away   Just like bug spray   I shouldn't have been so hard   I shouldn't have made you stay      Over obsessive behavior   Left a bitter flavor on my tongue   I don't blame you for running   I don't blame you for running away      Maybe its someone else that you preffered   Someone unlike me   Someone thats not a possesive bastard   Someone who can see   Exactly what you need   I cried for so long   And I've tried for so long   I don't think that I can go on   But I need to fess up   That I'm just a mess up   And I'm the only one that was wrong      I repelled you away   Just like bug spray   I shouldn't have been so hard   I shouldn't have made you stay      Over obsessive behavior   Left a bitter flavor on my tongue   I don't blame you for running   I don't blame you for running away      Now you haunt my dreams   Now you haunt my nightmares   Nothings what it seems    No one really cares   All the times I stood up for you   Even when I knew you weren't right   All the hard times that we've been through   Have been shattered, breaks the light      I repelled you away   Just like bug spray   I shouldn't have been so hard   I shouldn't have made you stay      Over obsessive behavior   Left a bitter flavor on my tongue   I don't blame you for running   I don't blame you for running away
