[Jazz Pop - 86 BPM - Mature Mezzo Female Vocal] [Verse 1] You knew exactly what to say When I was scared to let you in You wore your kindness like a promise Made me believe that you'd be different Every answer sounded honest Every touch felt like the truth I gave you all the parts I guarded Never thought I'd lose them to you [Pre-Chorus] Now every little memory Has something hiding underneath I keep replaying what you told me Trying to find where you deceived me [Chorus] You weren't the man you said you were You just knew how to play the part You held me close with careful words While you were tearing up my heart I loved somebody I believed in Somebody you made me see And now I'm grieving someone who never Was the man you pretended to be [Verse 2] You had a story for each question A reason ready for each lie I mistook distance for a bad day I mistook silence for your pain You made me feel like I was crazy For noticing the cracks appear Till I was apologizing For asking you to just be clear [Pre-Chorus] And now the truth is on the surface Nothing left for me to prove The hardest part was not you leaving It was finding out who you were [Chorus] You weren't the man you said you were You just knew how to play the part You held me close with careful words While you were tearing up my heart I loved somebody I believed in Somebody you made me see And now I'm grieving someone who never Was the man you pretended to be [Bridge] I don't miss the lies I miss who I thought you were I don't miss your arms I miss the safety I felt there You didn't break me when you left You broke me when I understood That every "forever" that you gave me Was never something that you meant [Final Chorus] You weren't the man you said you were And I can't change what I believed You held my heart like it was yours Then gave me reasons I couldn't breathe I loved somebody I believed in Somebody you made me see And now I'm learning how to mourn you Without mourning what you did to me [Outro] You weren't the man I thought I knew Maybe I never knew you at all But I know the woman I was before you And she's coming back for it all
