[Contemporary R&B - 92 BPM - Mezzo Female Vocal] [Verse 1] Here he comes with that familiar face Saying all the right things, then he fades away Calls me when his lonely gets too loud Pulls me in close, then he checks out I keep thinking maybe I'm the thread Pulling every broken story to my bed Maybe I give too much, maybe I stay too long Maybe I'm the reason they don't hold on [Pre-Chorus] I know my heart, I know I try Still somehow I end up asking why Is there something in the way I love That keeps bringing these same men around? [Chorus] Is it me? Tell me, is it something that I do? Why does every man who finds me Leave me questioning the truth? I give love, I give patience I give more than I should Then he turns into a stranger Like he never said he would Is it me? Or is something else pulling them away? 'Cause I'm tired of blaming my reflection For somebody else's change [Verse 2] He knows exactly where to touch my heart Knows the words that make me drop my guard Promises don't scare me anymore It's the silence after that I'm waiting for He says, "Trust me," like I've heard it before Then his effort starts slipping through the floor And I'm left with every little clue Trying to figure out what I did to you [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I confuse love with staying Maybe I keep forgiving what needs changing But why does every road I take Lead me back to the same mistake? [Chorus] Is it me? Tell me, is it something that I do? Why does every man who finds me Leave me questioning the truth? I give love, I give patience I give more than I should Then he turns into a stranger Like he never said he would Is it me? Or is something else pulling them away? 'Cause I'm tired of blaming my reflection For somebody else's change [Bridge] Maybe I was never hard to love Maybe I just chose the ones who weren't enough Maybe every lesson had a reason Even if I couldn't see it then I won't keep searching through my flaws For an answer that belongs to someone else If he can't meet me where I am That doesn't mean I need to change myself [Breakdown] Maybe it's not me Maybe it's not me Maybe I keep reaching For what was never steady Maybe it's not me I can finally breathe I don't have to carry What he refuses to be [Final Chorus] Is it me? Tell me, is it something that I do? Why does every man who finds me Leave me questioning the truth? I give love, I give patience But I'm learning what I should keep I won't turn another man's confusion Into something wrong with me Is it me? Or is something else pulling them away? Maybe I was never the problem Maybe I just kept looking in the wrong place [Outro] Here he comes with that familiar face But I don't have to let him stay Not every pattern is my fault Not every loss means I was wrong
