Can I take a second just to

Remember what I felt when I still loved you

I never meant to

But I guess it really doesn't matter

Did it ever matter to you anyway?

If I ever get the chance to

I'd take back what you took from me the day you

You pulled me into

The games you played before you scattered

The heart you shattered just to get your way

And I don't want to be the man that you pretend that I am

Confident that I can stand but I can't

Stand my own reflection when I leave your bed

Losing myself in the moment

And if I cared

If I were there

Would I have made excuses to satisfy?

And if you cared

If you were there

Would you have pulled me under and made me stay?

Can you take a second just to

Remember what you said the day I left you

That it would kill you

You always had to try to play me

Do you ever mean a single word you say?

Did you ever think that maybe

The problem wasn't that you couldn't break me

You drove me crazy

And not the way you wanted, baby

You think you're Britney but you're such a fake

And I don't want to be the man that you pretend that I am

Confident that I can stand but I can't

Stand my own reflection when I leave your bed

Losing myself

And if I cared

If I were there

Would I have made excuses to satisfy?

And if you cared

If you were there

Would you have pulled me under and made me stay away

From the things that I wanted

From the ones that I loved

I'll keep all inside

'Til I lose my mind

There's nothing left to compromise

I didn't care

I wasn't there

And I won't make excuses

I'm done this time

You didn't care

You never cared

And you can't hold me hostage

I'm leaving you behind

You can keep all the memories

You can keep all the dreams

And when you're up at night

I hope you realize

That I'm gone for good this time
