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 its 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.
