Why Him? (Reimagined)

It hurt enough you wanted out
Don't twist the knife again
Once in my arms, you've fallen out into another man's
But what hurt most wasn't letting me go
Rather in the one you chose
You were always in view
Seems like that wasn't the same for you

Same old scene replays over again
Try to ignore it but I can't pretend
Out of all the possible options
Baby, why him, why him?

It's not that I want to control you, baby
It could be anybody else
Call me selfish, I admit that I'm greedy
I just want you to myself

But you went and chose him
Why him?
But you went and chose him
Why him?

Girl rumor has it you're feelin' some way
Saw in your eyes that somethin' must've changed, yeah
I could tell something felt a little different just the other day
Got flustered just trying to muster what I wanna say

Do I just back down?
What do you want me to do?
Step to the side or do I fight for you? Yeah
Where did I drop the ball?

I could feel the tension
I know we have our faults, yeah
Where did I drop the ball?
Tell me when was this all my fault, yeah

I heard the truth but not from you
Who you ran to
Girl, what I do?
Girl spare my heart, I'm in the dark
Lately, we've been growing apart, yeah

I know all you wanted was for me to be committed
I know I was acting distant like my feelings weren't in it
But I swear, I swear
My heart was there, I was just feeling scared

I heard that you think I hurt you
How is this true when I waited for you?
I might've loved you but I guess you'll never know
How I felt for you there was nothing left for me to do
There was nothing left for me to do, oh

'Cause all I ever wanted was for you to be committed
I know I was acting distant but I swear
I was only waiting for you, for you to come through
But I don't think that'll happen anytime soon

So please don't go on tellin' everybody it was easy
Oh, the only difference was he was brave enough to tell me
Even when I was waiting for you
I never meant to be unfair
I just wanted you to care

Try to ignore it but I can't pretend
Out of all the possible options

Baby, why him?
(Same old scene replays over again)
Why him?

It's not that I want to control you, baby
It could be anybody else
Call me selfish, I admit that I'm greedy
I just want you to myself but you went and chose him
Why him?
