[Acoustic Pop - 92 BPM - Mezzo Female Vocal] [Verse 1] He spoke like every word was true, Like he had nothing left to hide. I let his stories pull me in, I let my better sense step aside. He knew exactly what to say, Exactly when to hold me close. I thought I finally found a man Who meant the things he said the most. [Pre-Chorus] But somewhere underneath it all, There was a truth I couldn't see. He wasn't changing into someone else— He was showing me who he'd be. [Chorus] He was who he said he was, I just didn't see it then. Every word pulled me closer, Every promise pulled me in. Love fooled me again, I gave him all my trust. He was who he said he was, And I believed him. [Verse 2] I replay every little sign, Every pause, every excuse. I kept giving him another chance When I should've had more to lose. He didn't break some perfect dream, He just proved what I ignored. I was loving who I hoped he'd be, While he was showing me much more. [Pre-Chorus] And somewhere underneath it all, I knew the truth was getting near. I wasn't losing what I thought I had— I was finally seeing it clear. [Chorus] He was who he said he was, I just didn't see it then. Every word pulled me closer, Every promise pulled me in. Love fooled me again, I gave him all my trust. He was who he said he was, And I believed him. [Bridge] Maybe I don't miss him anymore, Maybe I miss who I thought he could be. Maybe the hardest part of letting go Is admitting what I couldn't see. I wanted the words to make them true, Wanted the story to end right. But some people tell you who they are, And you understand them later in life. [Final Chorus] He was who he said he was, Now I finally see it clear. Every word pulled me closer, Every promise disappeared. Love fooled me again, But I won't give so much. He was who he said he was, And that's enough. [Outro] He turned out to be who he said he was. I just needed time to hear it.
