She stole your heart 
Only did it because she could
Chewed you up and spat you out
Bad girl was never no good
Baby I would never do that
Cause I love you faithfully
But your suspicious mind
Thinks I'm gonna repeat herstory

It's makin' you crazy, makin' you a wreck
Makin' you follow me, makin' me a suspect
You seem to think I'm playing her game
Don't you know my name

That was her this is me
We're different as can be
She and I are nothin' alike
You're confusing day and night
That was then, this is now
You wanna trust me but you don't now how
I'm never gonna mess around let you down can't you see
That was her and baby, this is me

Stop makin' me feel so bad
Cause I'm the best thing that you ever had
The only thing I'm guilty of is giving you too much love

It's makin' you crazy, makin' you a wreck
Makin' you follow me, makin' me a suspect
You seem to think I'm playing her game
Don't you know my name 

Don't suffocate me
Give me some space
Don't make me pay for all her mistakes
Believe in the love that's in my kiss
Don't see things that don't exist

It's makin' you crazy, makin' you a wreck
Makin' you follow me, makin' me a suspect
You seem to think I'm playing her game
Don't you know my name
