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
