It wasn't Just Me
So, this poem came about when I heard a country song on the radio. Something called "I hope she cheats" or something like that. It struck a raw nerve with me, I guess. I don't like country much anyway, but the song itself just sounded so vindictive. There's two sides to a story, so I figured I'd tell the story from the guys point of view. That's what this little piece of poetry is about. I think it would be his response.
Wasn't Just Me
by: Lu-Man
Well, vindictive ain't a good look on anyone
And darlin, it's ugly on you
I heard you talkin all around the whole town
about what you hope she will do
No, things ain't perfect
But for right now it'll do
But lookin back, it's paradise
compared to what I had with you
You may think, our love was complete
Until that day you saw me cheat,
but maybe...
I don't enjoy staying up till three at night
just to fight
And I don't like explaining my every charge
on my credit card
Perhaps you think things was sweet
Until you the day you saw me cheat
But maybe, baby, it wasn't just me
It wasn't just me
Maybe it was the time you drunk text your ex
at two in the mornin
It could have been all the times you said I should've left
Instead of just tryin to hang on
You may think, our love was complete
Until that day that you saw me cheat,
but maybe...
I don't enjoy staying up till three at night
just to fight
Or I don't like the way I was always torn down
with your friends around
Perhaps you think things was sweet
Until you the day you saw me cheat
But maybe, baby, it wasn't just me
It wasn't just me
How can you be so surprised
How things ended that night?
Spend all your time tearing some one down
They won't be hanging around
If you keep someone shut outside
Don't be surprised when they see the light.
Maybe it was all the accusing calls...
Or maybe it was the drunk text fights...
Or the way you would keep me up at night....
With accusations and petty fights...
Maybe I was just sick and tired...
Of feeling like I was never right
Of being put down, and how you were hardly around...
Perhaps you think things was sweet
Until you the day saw me cheat
But maybe, baby, it wasn't just me
It wasn't just me
