Beat Me To It

[Verse 1]
Well I found those poems you
Wrote to her and
I just couldn’t look away
Yeah, I knew you loved her and
I was jealous of
What I knew I’d never be

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So when you walked my way
I met you there and
I just buried the shame
But I couldn’t stop this from
Going down so
I went down with it

[Chorus]
I knew you’d leave me but
I chose to stay with you
I saw it comin'
But I fell so hard that I broke my own heart
'Cause I knew you’d beat me to it
And I let you do it

[Verse 2]
When I was your secret I
Was important cause
I would take away the pain
But whеn it got too heavy I
Dropped my head and I
I lеt you take the reigns

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well the word got out and you
Kept me around but then
Thats when everything changed
And I promised I'd be your
One and only but
Watched myself slippin'
Slipping, slipping

[Chorus]
I knew you’d leave me but
I chose to stay with you
I saw it comin'
But I fell so hard that I broke my own heart
Cause I knew you’d beat me to it (To it, to it)
And I let you do it
Yeah I let you do it

I knew you’d leave me but (Leave me but)
I chose to stay with you (Stay with you
I saw it comin' (Coming)
But I fell so hard that I broke my own heart
Cause I knew you’d beat me to it
And I let you do it
