A Girl Like Me?

[VERSE 1] Female Vocals

I was chasing every thrill, calling heartbreak freedom (freedom)

While you were fighting for us, I couldn't even see it (see it)

You were texting, "Baby, make it home," I left you on read

Now I'd trade every lie I told just to read those words again

You gave me your last chance, I spent it like loose change

Had an angel in my arms, still I went and danced with flames

Now your side of the mattress feels colder than before

And every creak inside this house sounds like you at the door

You were loving me through battles I never had to fight

While I was looking for attention in strangers every night

Thought the grass was greener, now I know it was a lie

'Cause the other side was empty and it cost me you and I

[PRE-CHORUS] Female Vocals

Bottle after bottle, trying not to drown

But every drink just brings your memory around

Mirror on the wall saying, "Girl, look what you've done"

And I hate the woman staring back at everyone

[CHORUS] Female Vocals

Why would you love a girl like me?

I turned forever into history

Had your whole world beating in my hands

Now I'm crying where you used to stand

Somebody help me, I'm coming undone

I lost the only place that ever felt like home

I had a king, but I treated him cheap

Now the only thing I hold is what I couldn't keep

(Oh-oh, couldn't keep)

(Oh-oh, somebody help me)

(Oh-oh, I threw it away)

(Oh-oh, now I'm paying)

[VERSE 2] Female Vocals

Every text unsent feels heavier tonight

Every broken promise keeps me staring at the light

How'd I trade a real love for a moment of applause?

Now I'm sitting with the damage and I'm counting all the costs

Everybody warned me, said I'd learn the hard way

Now your picture on my phone is all that's left to save

Your hoodie on the chair, your coffee mug untouched

Funny how the smallest things can hurt this much

You were building something solid, laying brick by brick

I was tearing through the walls chasing temporary fixes

Now the house we could've had only lives inside my head

And every dream we talked about feels buried with what's dead

[PRE-CHORUS] Female Vocals

Bottle after bottle, trying not to feel

But alcohol can't change what's real

The silence gets louder every single night

And I'm finally admitting I need help to make this right

[FINAL CHORUS] Female Vocals

Why would you love a girl like me?

Still you saw somebody underneath

Even when I broke everything

You kept believing I could change

Somebody help me, I'm finding my way

Trying to be better than I was yesterday

I lost something real and that truth won't leave

But maybe I can learn to be the woman he believed

(Oh-oh, not the end)

(Oh-oh, somebody help me)

(Oh-oh, I'm still here)

(Oh-oh...)
