Let me introduce myself properly
Though it’s clear, you already heard about me
When he told you ’bout the breakup, did he blame me? Mm
Did he tell you I was crazy?
But did he tell you all the times that he broke my heart and, broke my mind?
No, I bet he didn’t
I bet he told you that he isn’t a bad guy
Now, truth is he never started out like that
He was kind and attentive, and just my man
Then one day he said he’d be right back
But then he never came back around
And he never told me why.
