When You Love Someone Like That
LeAnn Rimes Lyrics

I think it was me it must have been me
I blame myself for what happened in our relationship

I guess I did something wrong
I admit that I made mistakes and that's why we're not together anymore

I tried too hard
I put too much effort into trying to make him stay

Wanted too much
I had high expectations for our relationship that he couldn't fulfill

I guess that's why it's gone
Our relationship ended because of my unrealistic expectations and efforts to make it work

I lost my pride, I fought and cried
I was so invested in this relationship that my ego and emotions were affected by its end

I felt like a little kid
I felt helpless and vulnerable after the relationship ended

What's wrong with me?
I questioned myself and my worth after the relationship ended

Still can't believe
I still can't come to terms with the fact that it's over

I did the things I did
I take responsibility for my actions that may have contributed to the end of our relationship

I couldn't change him
I realized that I couldn't force him to change or stay with me

He was gonna break my heart
I saw the signs that he was going to hurt me emotionally

I saw it coming
I knew our relationship was going to end for a while

Yeah I knew it from the start
I had a feeling that our relationship wasn't going to last from the beginning

Girl it ain't right, it just ain't right
It's not fair that we put in so much effort in a relationship that still ended

Don't tell yourself that it was you
It's not solely your fault that the relationship ended

You followed your heart, you gave it your best
You did what you could to make the relationship work based on your feelings and efforts

There's nothing more you can do
You did everything that you could do for the relationship, and now it's time to move on

Guys like him are like the wind
Men like him are unpredictable and fleeting in relationships

And you know it's just too bad
It's unfortunate that you had to experience this kind of relationship

They blow in and out again and never know what they had
These men come and go without realizing the value of the relationship they had before it's gone

Girl I can tell ya
I can assure you that it's not your fault and that you're not alone

He'll do the same to someone else, it ain't about you
He's going to repeat this cycle with someone else, so don't take it too personally

So don't be so hard on yourself
Don't blame yourself for the failure of the relationship

Oh we've all loved and lost
Everyone has experienced heartbreak in their relationships

It's happened to us all
No one is immune to the pain of a failed relationship

I hear what you're saying but I feel like the only one
Even though others have gone through similar experiences, it feels isolating to go through it alone

You might feel right but you're not
You might feel like it's your fault, but it's not

You're alright (I'm alright)
You're okay, even though the relationship didn't work out

You're OK (I'm OK)
You're not broken, just upset over this experience

You're gonna make it anyway (both)
You'll come out of this experience stronger and ready to move forward

When you love (when you love)
Loving someone is a complicated and intense feeling

When you love someone like that, when you give what you can't take back
When you love someone this deeply, you give them everything you have without expecting it back, but this can also lead to heartbreak

With all your heart and soul, it's so hard to let it go
When you love someone this deeply, it's hard to move on from the relationship

When you love someone like that
This kind of love is intense, passionate, and often leads to heartbreak
