[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
You say his name then you get upset,
'Cause part of you ain’t over him yet.
You say that he used to hold you tight,
And now that’s what keeps you up at night.
You say you hate what he put you through,
But you still miss the life you knew.
When you're relivin' that history,
Please remember, it wasn’t me.
[Chorus]
I see you cryin’ here every day,
'Cause you say that hurt won’t go away.
He broke your trust and let you down,
But still his memory's hangin’ 'round.
You say you know he did you wrong,
But lettin’ go is takin’ too long.
Someone left your heart in misery,
But girl, you know, it wasn’t me.
[Verse 2]
You wish you could start over again,
Take back the time that you spent with him.
You talk about the life you planned,
And how it slipped right through your hands.
You say you know that I treat you right,
And I give you what you need each night,
You smile and say that's how it should be,
And still it feels like, it wasn’t me.
[Chorus]
I see you cryin’ here every day,
'Cause you say that hurt won’t go away.
He broke your trust and let you down,
But still his memory's hangin’ 'round.
You say you know he did you wrong,
But lettin’ go is takin’ too long.
Someone left your heart in misery,
But girl, you know, it wasn’t me.
[Bridge]
Ain’t askin’ you to rush or pretend,
'Cause you're right here with me in the end.
If you need someone to set you free,
Open up your eyes, you'll see it's me.
[Chorus]
I see you cryin’ here every day,
'Cause you say that hurt won’t go away.
He broke your trust and let you down,
But still his memory's hangin’ 'round.
You say you know he did you wrong,
But lettin’ go is takin’ too long.
Someone left your heart in misery,
But girl, you know, it wasn’t me.
