I Can't Be Mad

The bigger picture

I'll be with ya, many years from now

So go your own way, do your own thing

I don't see it working out

Gave permission, to take the easy way out

Bad decision, 'cause I'm here missing you now

But I can't be mad

For loving you that way

I can't be mad

I gave you my heart to break

Can drown in sorrow, try to numb the pain

But I can't be mad because I'm the one to blame

Seeing pictures, and I ain't with ya

No longer you and I

You don’t hurt like you should

And it seems you're all good

Honestly I don’t know why

I gave permission, to take the easy way out

Bad decision, but I won't scream and shout

Baby, I can't be mad

For loving you that way

I can't be mad

I gave you my heart to break

Can drown in sorrow, try to numb the pain

But I can't be mad because I'm the one to blame

Oh, it's like broken pieces are left on a shelf

While you're looking happy

I'm going through hell

It's not the way that I thought it would be

But you'll come back to me

And I won't be mad

For loving you that way

And I can't be mad

I gave you my heart to break

I can't be mad

For loving you that way

I can't be mad

I gave you my heart to break, oh babe

Drown in sorrow, try to numb the pain

But I can't be mad because I'm the one to blame

Yeah, I can't be mad 'cause I let you slip away
