Time Capsule of Lyrics

That Used to be Me

*Author's Note: One of the most painful experiences has to be watching the person you like be with someone else. I wondered why I wasn't good enough, but I read this quote that really helped:"If another girl can take your man, darling she's doing you a favor." It made sense to me after a while and I realized that I deserved better.

〜VERSE 1〜

I started to notice it

But I pretended I didn't

Even though it was so obvious

My mind tried to deny it

Cause every time I saw her

She'd be standing next to you

I'm still holding on to what we were

But you've moved on to someone new

I would never let it show

How much pain I'm in right now

Cause I don't know how to let go

Yet you already did somehow

〜PRE-CHORUS〜

When I see you with her it kills me inside

I don't think I've ever been this hurt in my life

〜CHORUS〜

Now I'm picturing you guys together

And I'm seeing your face everywhere

I should've known better

Than to think you still cared

I wish I could hate you

Instead of feeling this jealousy

Cause when I see the way you treat her

All I can think is that used to be me

〜VERSE 2〜

It's funny to think back

to what you said to me my friend

You asked how I could like a guy like him

But now it's him you've chosen

This feeling of betrayal

Doesn't even feel real

But I keep acting like I'm fine

Cause I don't want to fight over some guy

But how could you do this to me

Knowing I've liked him all along

I don't wanna seem petty

But you're really doing me wrong

〜PRE-CHORUS〜

When I see you with him it kills me inside

I don't think I've ever hurt this much in my life

〜CHORUS〜

Now I'm picturing you guys together

And it's torturing my own mind

I should've known better

Than to think we could rewind

I wish I was mad at you

Instead of feeling this jealousy

Cause when I see the way you look at him

All I can think is that used to be me

〜BRIDGE〜

Oh you cut me out of your life so easily

When you're with her do you think of me

Nowadays I can't eat I can't sleep

But you sure moved on quickly

Oh and I tried to turn a blind eye

Told myself some desperate lies

He never told me the reason why

And she put our friendship on the line

My mind hasn't been in a good place

I stay in bed just to pass the day

And as the pain slowly eats me away

The last thing I hear is the echo of his name

〜PRE-CHORUS〜

I'm trying to pick myself up from the floor

I don't think I've felt so broken before

〜CHORUS〜

Now I'm picturing you guys together

And I can't help but wonder

If you think she's better

And decide to be with her

I wish I was clueless

Instead of feeling this jealousy

Cause it's true that ignorance is bliss

Cause then I wouldn't know you've replaced me
