How Am I the Bad Guy?

I gave you all my loving, I gave you all my care
I even rubbed your feet, and even greased your hair
Now when I come in your presence you act like I ain't there
I never lied to you, I even cried with you, 
How can you treat me like I died to you
Like I don't exist
Wont give me a hug, not even a little kiss
You wont look in my eyes cause you did me wrong
and you got me pissed
How is it my fault, that ain't true
when you hit me, have I ever beat on you
When prettier girls tempted me did I cheat on you
Love ain't about the long hair, or the pretty face
It's about being my queen, only you could fill that place
You said you'll never leave me, then you left me cold
so to say things is my fault you are pretty bold 
If you didn't desire me just keep it true, and keep it real
You said you plan on seeing other men, how am I supposed to feel
I thought you needed to be single, 
but you stabbed my heart and with other guys you wanted to mingle
So how am the bad guy, 
when you spent the end telling bad lies
I'm going to try to wait for you, I know it's a lot to bear,
Of the hard times, I guess i'm the bearer 
If you want to know where thing went wrong, don't only 
look at me, look at yourself in the mirror.
