I gave you everything, my heart and time (my heart, my time…)
Stayed when I should’ve said goodbye (should’ve said goodbye…)
You said forever, but forever lied (forever lied…)
Now I see through your disguise (mmm, I see you now…)
You used to hold me like I was your world (oh, you did…)
Then left me broken, lost that girl (lost that girl…)
Now you’re sayin’ that you still care (still care?)
But I’m not standing there (no, no more…)
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Don’t say you miss me, I’ve heard that before (heard it before…)
I’m not waitin’ by the phone no more (no, no, no…)
Your love was a lesson, I finally learned (I learned, I learned…)
Now it’s your turn to burn (your turn, baby…)
⸻
Chorus
You lost me — when you let my love fade away (fade away…)
Now you want me — but I don’t feel the same (no, I don’t feel the same…)
I was yours, now I’m gone, and it’s plain to see (plain to see…)
You had your chance, baby — you lost me (you lost me, yeah…)
⸻
Verse 2
I remember cryin’ in the dark (cryin’ in the dark…)
Beggin’ you to heal my heart (heal my heart, yeah…)
Now I look at what we used to be (used to be…)
And I thank God I’m free (thank God I’m free…)
⸻
Bridge (Emotional key lift)
No, I don’t rewind the pain (no more…)
No, I won’t fall again (won’t fall again, no…)
You had my soul, you let it slip away (you let it go…)
Now I’m stronger every day (I’m stronger now…)
⸻
Final Chorus (Full ad-libs, Mariah-style layering)
You lost me — when you turned and walked away (you walked away, yeah…)
You can’t find me — I’m not that girl today (not that girl no more…)
All those nights I cried, now I finally see (I finally see, I see…)
You had your chance, baby… yeah, you lost me (you lost me, oh, oh…)
⸻
Outro (Soft runs + echo ad-libs)
Mmm… you lost the best you’ll ever have (ever have…)
Can’t get it back, no, no (no, no, no…)
You lost me (you lost me…)
Yeah, yeah… (you lost me…)
