When I was

I used to bite my tongue

I used to hold my breath

Holding on to hoping that you’d change

Got used to sleepless nights

Pretending wrong was right

Turned my head and looked the other way

Oh I

Didn’t notice I was broken

Oh I

Was just goin’ through the motions

But I’m not a thing you string along

The girl that’s cryin’ in some sad song

Watchin’ the time go by and leave me in the dust

No, I ain’t some starcrossed Juliet

Who stuck around too long and let

You break her heart and call it love

But I remember when I was

I used to blame myself

Ignore the facts, the things I felt

Guess all those red flags left me color blind

And I used to be afraid

Of what my friends would say

If they knew all the things that I let slide

Cuz I’m not a thing you string along

The girl that’s cryin’ in some sad song

Watchin’ the time go by and leave me in the dust

No, I ain’t some starcrossed Juliet

Who stuck around too long and let

You break her heart and call it love

But I remember when I was

Yeah I remember when I was

The kinda girl who gave

Every piece of her away

And never asked for nothin’ in return

Oh boy it took me way too long to learn

That I’m not a thing you string along

The girl that’s cryin’ in some sad song

Watchin’ the time go by and leave me in the dust

No, I ain’t some starcrossed Juliet

Who stuck around too long and let

You break her heart and call it love

But I remember when I was
