[Verse 1]

Go, be yourself on your way

And don't ever look back to check if I'm okay

And don't ever be sad that you chose him instead

'Cause I don't want regrets and I'd rather be rid of it

And when you want someone who'll care

Who will know how you feel when you don't wanna share

Who will show you support when you've lost your meaning

Just remember this time when you chose not to be with me


[Pre-Chorus]

And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out

I came and confess that I love you more than he does

So choose me instead, oh choose me instead 'cause


[Chorus]

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be

Even half the man that he should be

And I watched you choose him instead of me

I watched you choose him instead of me


[Verse 2]

Go, be in love, I don't care

But don't ever pretend that we're both unaware

'Cause the truth is that you still permit me to be

Close enough, that I know that you don't want me to leave

And then I remember he's there

And he's been there for years at your side like a stain

And when I see you with him, in your eyes there's a pain

And it's trapped you inside like you can't get away


[Pre-Chorus]

And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out

I came and confess that I love you more than he does

Choose me instead, woah, choose me instead


[Chorus]

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be

Even half as good as he should be

And I watched you choose him instead of me

I watched you choose him instead of me


[Bridge]

He's not good enough for you (Ooh)

He's not good enough for you (Oh woah)

He's not good enough for you (No)

He's not good enough for you (No, no, no, no, no)


[Pre-Chorus]

And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out

I came and confess that I love you more than he does

Choose me instead, he's not good enough for you


[Outro]

He's not good enough for you, no

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do, no

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be

Even half the man that he should be

'Cause I watched you choose him instead of me

I watched you choose him instead of me
