Who you became

Intro]

Yeah, yeah

Mm-mm

I remember when…

You had me believing

You were everything I needed

But look at us now…

I fell for the man you showed me

Back when you knew just what to say

You made me feel like nobody else

Could ever take your place

We had our nights, we had our moments

Made some memories I won’t erase

And even though the story changed

I’ll never say they were a waste

But somewhere we got lost

Somewhere love got hard

And I kept holding onto yesterday

While you kept breaking my heart

I kept saying, “That’s not him”

“He’d never do me like that”

But every time you showed me different

I had to face the facts

‘Cause love ain’t about the first kiss

Or the way it felt at the start

It’s every choice you make

When you already got my heart

And I kept making excuses

For the man I knew before

But baby, I can’t keep loving

Someone who ain’t there anymore

I loved the man you were

But I don’t know who you became

I miss the way you loved me

But I don’t miss all this pain

And somebody else looked at me

Like they could see through my disguise

For a second I remembered

What it felt like to feel alive

But I ain’t gonna lose myself

Just ‘cause somebody made me feel

So I’m dancing through the heartbreak

Learning what is real

I loved the man you were

But I choose me today

‘Cause who you were ain’t enough

To make me stay

Ooh, I gotta let it go

Ooh, even when I don’t want to

Ooh, memories don’t mean

I gotta keep going through

No, no, no

I can’t keep loving your potential

When your actions tell me different

No, no, no…

Then there was that other energy

I tried my best not to notice

The way his eyes would linger

The way the silence felt loaded

Maybe it was nothing

Maybe it was something we shouldn’t name

But when you’re starving for affection

Even attention feels like rain

And I won’t lie

For a minute I got confused

’Cause he made me feel seen

When I was feeling invisible to you

But that’s the dangerous part

When your heart’s already bruised

You can mistake being wanted

For finally being loved too

And I don’t need another secret

I don’t need another lie

I don’t need somebody else’s arms

To prove I’m still alive

If I’m gonna walk away

I’m doing it with my head held high

Not jumping into somebody new

Just to forget the reason why

I loved the man you were

But I don’t know who you became

I miss the way you loved me

But I don’t miss all this pain

And somebody else looked at me

Like they could see through my disguise

For a second I remembered

What it felt like to feel alive

But I ain’t gonna lose myself

Just ‘cause somebody made me feel

So I’m dancing through the heartbreak

Learning what is real

I loved the man you were

But I choose me today

‘Cause who you were ain’t enough

To make me stay

Maybe I stayed for the memories

Maybe I stayed for the kids

Maybe I stayed ‘cause deep inside

I still hoped you’d change again

Maybe I was scared of leaving
