It Wasn't Just Me

Intro

Mmm, yeah...

I used to think it was me...

Oh, girl...

But now I see...

Verse 1

Saw him at your cousin's wedding

Saving you a chair beside his own

Told everybody you were running late

But I could tell he already knew you wouldn't show

He tried to smile when they asked about you

Said you had a lot going on

And I swear I almost started crying

'Cause I used to say that when you were gone

Pre-Chorus

And I wanted to tell him something

But I knew he wouldn't believe

'Cause if somebody tried to warn me

I would've never listened, baby...

Chorus

You're doing him the same way you did meeee

Only want him when you're lonelyyyy

Then you tell him you're gonna change

And he believes you, he believes...

Ohhh, I thought I wasn't good enough

Spent so many nights wondering what was wrong with me

Now I see you with somebody else

Going through the same damn thing...

And it wasn't just meeee

Ohhh, it wasn't just meeee...

Verse 2

Bet he knows when you're about to leave

By the way you start acting cold

Bet he's scared to even ask you questions

'Cause he don't wanna hear you say you're going home

And when you finally say you miss him

He forgets the things you put him through

I remember how good it felt

Just to hear those words from you

And I know he probably thinks he's different

That he's gonna be the one you choose

Girl, I spent two years believing

All the same things he believes in you

Pre-Chorus

Oh, and I used to ask what I was missing

What I had to do to make you stay

Now I see him asking those same questions

And I know just what you're gonna say...

Chorus

You're doing him the same way you did meeee

Only want him when you're lonelyyyy

Then you tell him you're gonna change

And he believes you, he believes...

Ohhh, I thought I wasn't good enough

Spent so many nights wondering what was wrong with me

Now I see you with somebody else

Going through the same damn thing...

And it wasn't just meeee

Nooo, it wasn't just meeee...

Bridge

You know what hurt the most?

I thought the next man would get the woman

I was begging you to be...

That you'd take everything I taught you

And give him what you wouldn't give to me...

Ohhh, I was ready to hate him

For getting everything I couldn't have

But when I looked into his eyes

All I could see was my past...

And I don't want him to hurt like that

I wouldn't wish those nights on anybody

But I know he's gonna keep on trying

Just like I did...

Just like I did...

Ohhh, girl, why couldn't you just love me?

Why couldn't you just love meeee?!

Final Chorus

You're doing him the same way you did meeee!

(Ohhh, the same way!)

Only want him when you're lonelyyyy!

(When you're lonely, baby!)

And you're promising you'll change

But you ain't changed a thing...

Ohhh, I thought I wasn't good enough!

I gave you every part of me!

Now you're putting someone else

Through everything you put me through...

And it wasn't just meeee!

(Nooo, nooo!)

It wasn't just meeeee!

(Oh, thank God it wasn't me...)

Outro

I thought you would love him better...

I thought you'd finally learned...

And all this time I blamed myself...

For something I couldn't change...

Mmm...

I hope he figures it out...

Before he ends up like me...

Ohhh...

Before he ends up like me...
