lyrics

We both know you and I weren’t meant to be
Heartache and loneliness were all that we could see
So we both packed up our bags, shook hands and that was that
But there was something that just didn’t sit right with me

Of course you said that he was just a friend
And all those harmless messages you’d send
Guess all those late night talks
Were enough for you to walk away
And start yourself a brand new life with him

It’s not that I miss you, it’s not that I’m lonely
Already got me another girl to hold me
It’s not that I gave you half my money
It’s that you had another man lined up behind me

I sure don’t miss your lazy attitude
You’re crazy and you’re selfish and you’re rude
I’d have to be hooked on crack before I ever took you back
Because this knife stuck in my back belongs to you

It’s not that I miss you, it’s not that I’m lonely
Already got me a better girl to hold me
It’s not that I gave you, all that money
It’s that you had another man lined up behind me

It’s real nice that you wanna be my friend
Must be out of money to spend
Stop sending me letters, I think I’d like it better
If I never saw or heard from you again

All those hours just laying around the house
Playing video games and shooting off your mouth
Your ridiculous opinions and all your online minions
Well I’m grinning cause that’s all his problem now

It’s not that I miss you, its not that I’m lonely
Well there’s always another girl to hold me
Its not that I gave you, all my money
It’s that you had another man lined up behind me
