[Verse 1]
Don’t get mad when you miss me
And I’m not there to call
You had my all in your hands
You let it slip through it all
I stood right there in front of you
Like I was bound to stay
You never held me like gold
You just let me fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the door don’t swing both ways
Now the truth is plain to see
You reached for me too late
When I finally chose me
[Chorus]
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
When I’m out of your reach
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
You lost what you couldn’t keep
When I was yours, you let me go
Now somebody else gets all of me
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
When someone else has me
[Verse 2]
I wore your name like a promise
On my heart and on my sleeve
You treated love like a habit
Not a thing you had to keep
I gave you grace in the cracks
I gave you time to learn
But a woman gets tired of waiting
For a fire that won’t burn
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the door don’t swing both ways
Now the truth is plain to see
You reached for me too late
When I finally chose me
[Chorus]
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
When I’m out of your reach
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
You lost what you couldn’t keep
When I was yours, you let me go
Now somebody else gets all of me
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
When someone else has me
[Bridge]
You can call it bad timing
You can call it bad luck
But you had me in your hands, baby
And you never picked me up
So save your tears for later
I’m already moving on
What you thought would always wait here
Has been gone too long
[Chorus]
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
When I’m out of your reach
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
You lost what you couldn’t keep
When I was yours, you let me go
Now somebody else gets all of me
Don’t get mad, don’t get mad
When someone else has me
