Maybe I left so many things unspoken

Maybe I lied about where I was going

And I don't blame you for the fact that you blame me

And I won't hate you if you wanna forget me.

And say it was all a cloud of smoke

Say it was nothing but a joke

Everything that you say about me is true

But, just for the record, I really loved you.

You laugh with your friends when they talk about us

You agree with them when they say I was never good enough

For all that you needed that I wasn't giving

I guess it was easier to put it like this.

And say it was all a cloud of smoke

And say it was nothing but a joke

Everything that you say about me is true

But, just for the record, I really loved you.

No, oh, and it means nothing but a sorry woman's words

Oh, oh, never try to lessen how much it hurt

Oh, oh, maybe it's a little bit selfish now

You probably don't even want to hear me out.

So say it was all a cloud of smoke

And say it was nothing but a joke

Everything that I did, I used every excuse

But, just for the record, I really loved you.

Darling, just for the record, I really loved you

Just for the record, I really loved you.
