Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I know you don't wanna take this from me
Promise it's not coming from jealousy
But I can see a pattern start to repeat
Cause when he was mine
Never thought it through
Nobody told me what I'm telling you
[Pre-Chorus]
Has he asked you about your past?
It feels better than the last
I remember him asking me stupid questions like that
I'm sure he's feeling really blessed
And the fame has him obsessed
Girl you deserve so much better
[Chorus]
You might think he's sensitive
You give him the benefit
But he's a narcissist
Who probably thinks it's all about him
When you're kissing him
Pretends that he's listening
He thinks the world revolves around him
He thinks it's all about him
[Post-Chorus]
He thinks the world revolves around him
He thinks it's all about him
He thinks the world revolves around him
He thinks it's all about him
[Verse 2]
I know it's early days and all his words seem so sweet
Pretty soon you'll see what he hides underneath
And I know it's hard for you to believe
'Cause when he was mine
Never thought it through
Nobody told me what I'm telling you
[Pre-Chorus]
Has he asked you about your past?
It feels better than the last
I remember him asking me stupid questions like that
I'm sure he's feeling really blessed
And the fame has him obsessed
Girl you deserve so much better
[Chorus]
You might think he's sensitive
You give him the benefit
But he's a narcissist
Who probably thinks it's all about him
When you're kissing him
Pretends that he's listening
He thinks the world revolves around him
He thinks it's all about him
[Post-Chorus]
He thinks the world revolves around him
He thinks it's all about him
He thinks the world revolves around him
He thinks it's all about him
[Bridge]
Everything might just been great
You might end up happily
I just had to say in case
You make all the same mistakes
So if you hear my words and relate
You're not crazy I've been through the same
Girl to girl, you'll be okay
Girl to girl, you'll be okay
[Chorus]
You might think he's sensitive
You give him the benefit
But he's a narcissist
Who probably thinks it's all about him
When you're kissing him
Pretends that he's listening
He thinks the world revolves around him
He thinks it's all about him
