It Was You
Taj Jackson Lyrics

How did I let you down
I am unsure where I went wrong in our relationship

Were you looking for applause
Did you want recognition for ending our relationship?

Before I started the show
Before I fully committed to our relationship

When I should of read the script
I should have known better and recognized your true intentions

So I could see how you play the role
So I could understand your motives and actions

Of it's not you, it's me
The classic excuse for ending a relationship

And you need time to think
You need space and time to reconsider our relationship

Well he don't know you like I know you
No one else understands you as well as I do

And he won't listen to complain and understand
Others may not be willing to listen to your complaints and work through issues like I was

You chose to let somebody else take my place
You gave someone else the chance to be with you instead of me

Can't even look me in my face
You cannot face the hurt you caused me

Too hard to say
You cannot bring yourself to apologize or take responsibility for your actions

You seem to have your plan all figured out I see
You had your own agenda from the beginning and never truly cared for me

On the first day of audition,
From the very start of our relationship

Said there's no other made like me
Claiming that I was the perfect match for you

Once a heart is broken it's not easy to assemble
It is difficult to mend a broken heart and trust again

Had no instructions and was easy to read
I was open and honest with you, yet you still hurt me

But your hero wants to move but you want him to wait
You are not content with the current state of our relationship but also do not want to be alone

He don't wanna live in a barbie house with you
Your ideal life is not realistic or desirable to him

You chose to put me on a shelf far away
You distanced yourself from me to avoid addressing our issues

So you wouldn't have to see my face
You did not want to face the consequences of your actions and hurt me further

And hear me say
You did not want to hear my side or give me the chance to speak

I'm done with wondering what you're looking for
I am tired of trying to understand your motives and intentions

I tried everything (everything),
I did my best to make our relationship work

But one day you're gonna know the truth
You will eventually realize the hurt you caused me

Hope that the next one can love them like I do
I hope your next partner can appreciate and cherish your love like I did

Like I wanted to
I loved you deeply and wanted our relationship to succeed

Yes I loved you
My love for you was genuine and sincere

Ooh yes I loved you
My feelings for you were strong and real

Ooh I tried to forget you
I attempted to move on from our relationship, but your actions still hurt me

You lived through my harder days
You were by my side during my difficult times

If there's anyone to blame for the tears
You are responsible for causing me pain and sadness

And for my pain
Your actions caused me emotional distress and hurt

If was you
You are the one who caused me this pain
