[Verse 1]
Maybe I left too many things unspoken
And 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
[Chorus]
And say it was all a cloud of smoke
And say it was nothing but a joke
Everything that you said about me is true
Just for the record I really loved you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And say it was all a cloud of smoke
And say it was nothing but a joke
Everything that you said about me is true
Just for the record I really loved you
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Maybe these are nothing but a sorry man's words
Oh, oh
I never tried to lessen how much it hurt
Oh, oh
Maybe it's a little bit selfish now
You probably don't wanna hear me out
[Chorus]
So say it was all a cloud of smoke
And say it was nothing but a joke
For everything that I did
I used every excuse
Just for the record I really loved you
Just for the record I really loved you
Just for the record I really loved you
