There was a time
When I was so naïve
Fell so easily for your game
The game you used to call love
I thought you did everything right
That you’d never have the courage (mm)
The courage to lie to me
You used to say
Love without lies, without mistakes
Boy, I must have been out of my mind
'Cause I didn’t see your lies
So
Now when I think
Of the time we spent together
Of the time, I almost loved you
You showed me who you really were
And I thought I truly saw you
But it was just a reflection in the mirror
A reflection I refused to see
But thank God, you ruined everything
I thank God, 'cause I got away from you
So boy, thanks for the attention
Thanks for wasting my time
(My precious time with you)
Back then, I wanted you so bad
I was out of my mind, couldn’t see
How much of a fool I’d be in your hands
I left home
Left it all, walked away
With hope in your love
I believed in your empty words
And in the end, it was all a lie
Like Beyoncé said
’Cause honestly, you turned out to be the
(Best thing I never had)
And I will always be the (best thing you’ll never have)
Now when I think (I think mm)
Of the time we spent together (together)
Of the time, I almost loved you (loved you)
You showed me who you really were
And I thought I truly saw you
But it was just a reflection in the mirror
A reflection I refused to see
But thank God, you ruined everything
I thank God, 'cause I got away from you
(Got away from you)
Oh, yeah
I bet you're hurting now
(And I don’t even care)
Did you expect me to?
Know that you don’t deserve my tears
Maybe that’s why I never cried
When I think
How could I have loved you?
How foolish was I?
But I won’t be that again
Never again!
Now when I think
(I think mm)
Of the time we spent together
Of the time I almost loved you
(Loved you)
You showed me who you really were
And I thought I truly saw you
But it was just a reflection in the mirror
A reflection I refused to see
But thank God, you ruined everything
I thank God, 'cause I got away from you
(Got away from you)
Now when I think
(I think mm)
Of the time we spent together
Of the time I almost loved you
(Loved you)
You showed me who you really were
And I thought I truly saw you
But it was just a reflection in the mirror
A reflection I refused to see
But thank God, you ruined everything
I thank God, 'cause I got away from you
(Got away from you)
