I Put You First (& You Did Too)
I've been doing my best, trying to make sense of it
We both know, baby, you were all talk, and I fell for it
Everyday, again and again, people abuse my kindness
But what I didn't expect is you'd be the one behind it
But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me
For what I thought you'd never do
But you know you made it look so crazy
Saying that you wanted to protect me
From all of the people that hurt me like you do
'Cause I put you first, and you did too
I've been doing my best, writing my own conclusions
Tryin' to cope with how you could go
And leave with no warning (no warning, no warning)
Taking my time, saying I'm fine, but who am I kidding?
And all that I have is confidence that you were not ready
But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me
For what I thought you'd never do, no
But you know you made it look so crazy
Saying that you wanted to protect me
From all of the people that hurt me like you do
'Cause I put you first, and you did too
And you did too
You did too
And you did too
And all of our fights
About who loves who most, I won
At least I'll sleep tonight
Knowing I never loved you wrong
But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me
For what I thought you'd never do, no
And I know we come from different places
Never tried to change me, just embraced it
Now I see I had a lot in common with you
'Cause I put you first, and you did too
We both know, baby, you were all talk, and I fell for it
Everyday, again and again, people abuse my kindness
But what I didn't expect is you'd be the one behind it
But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me
For what I thought you'd never do
But you know you made it look so crazy
Saying that you wanted to protect me
From all of the people that hurt me like you do
'Cause I put you first, and you did too
I've been doing my best, writing my own conclusions
Tryin' to cope with how you could go
And leave with no warning (no warning, no warning)
Taking my time, saying I'm fine, but who am I kidding?
And all that I have is confidence that you were not ready
But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me
For what I thought you'd never do, no
But you know you made it look so crazy
Saying that you wanted to protect me
From all of the people that hurt me like you do
'Cause I put you first, and you did too
And you did too
You did too
And you did too
And all of our fights
About who loves who most, I won
At least I'll sleep tonight
Knowing I never loved you wrong
But you know you made it look so easy
Acting like you love me just to leave me
Nothing could prepare me
For what I thought you'd never do, no
And I know we come from different places
Never tried to change me, just embraced it
Now I see I had a lot in common with you
'Cause I put you first, and you did too
