He helped me change a tire in a Citgo parking lot
He said we both could use a beer and I said, 'Hell, why not'
What started out as one night turned to six months just like that
He never had a ring on so I never thought to ask

But then last night I saw a message on his phone
It said, 'Hey, babe, what time you coming home?'

I never wanted to be that girl, I never wanted to hate myself
I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else
Being the other one when there's another one, God, this feels like hell
I thought I knew who I was, but it's getting hard to tell
I never wanted to be that girl

I've heard about those women who didn't have a clue
The ones who made excuses like my mama used to do
And he jumps in the shower just as soon as he gets home
And I'll spend half an hour going through his phone

I never wanted to be that girl, I never wanted to hate myself
I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else
Being the other one when there's another one, God, this feels like hell
I thought I knew who I was, but it's getting hard to tell
I never wanted to be that girl

Oh, and I feel stupid
I feel cheap, I feel used, I feel weak

I never wanted to be that girl, I never wanted to hate myself
I thought this kind of lonely oOnly happens to somebody else
Being the other one when there's another one, God, this feels like hell
I thought I knew who I was, but it's getting hard to tell
I never wanted to be that girl
I never wanted to be that girl
I never wanted to be that girl
