He's the one who left you lonely
You're always crying when I come home
He did you so wrong
Ah but he's long gone

Girl you know I do my part
To try and mend your broken heart
But I can't do it alone
Girl you've gotta let him go

Cause I've got a love that's strong and true
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
I'm tired of paying for all his sins
So come one and let me in

That was him this is now
I wasn't the one who left your heart in pieces on the ground
And I just can't go on living in the shadow of a doubt
Cause that was him this is now

You saved yourself for Mr. Right
And he ran off with her that night
And just threw away
All the love you gave

But you were just his passing fancy
I saw his taillights top the hill
As he drove away
Ah that was yesterday yeah

And I hate the way he treated you
And paying for things that I didn't do
Goodbye's a word I don't wanna use
But I'm tired of wearing his shoes

That was him this is now
I wasn't the one who left your heart in pieces on the ground
And I just can't go on living in the shadow of a doubt
Cause that was him this is now

I try so hard to make you happy
Yes I do
Though I swear sometimes the hurt in your eyes
It's just like you're looking straight at me

That was him this is now
I wasn't the one who left your heart in pieces on the ground
And I just can't go on living in the shadow of a doubt
Cause that was him this is now

Oh that was him this is now
