Before Me

Look at you, acting brand new
Like I wasn't the one who held you through
Now you post like you finally learned
Funny how lessons stick when I'm not concerned

You say they're different, I've heard that line
Said the same thing back when you were mine
Now I'm laughing, not bitter, just free
Guess they're getting the version you stole from me

I'm with someone who actually tries
No mixed signals, no half-goodbyes
You call it fate, I call it timing
I left, and suddenly you're shining

Before me, you didn't know how to stay
Didn't know how to love the right way
So don't thank luck, don't thank the stars
Thank the heartbreaks, the scars
Before me
