Never Wanted To Be That Girl

He helped me change a tire in the Citgo parking lot

He said we both could use a beer

I said "Hell, why not?"

It started out as one night turned to six months just like that

He never had a ring on

So I never thought to ask

Then one night I saw a message on his phone

That said "Hey babe, what time you comin' home?"

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else

Being "The Other One" when there's another one

God, this feels like hell

Thought I knew who I was but it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

I heard about those women who didn't have a clue

The ones that made excuses like my mama used to do

And he jumps in the shower as soon as he gets home

And I spend half an hour going through his phone

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else

Being "The Other One" when there's another one

God, this feels like hell

Thought I knew who I was but it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

Oh and I feel stupid

I feel cheap

I feel used

I feel weak

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else

Being "The Other One" when there's another one

God, this feels like hell

Thought I knew who I was but it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to be that girl
