[Verse 1]
Oh, in the beginning, you had my heart
Close, couldn't be torn apart
Daydreaming under the stars
Thought you were the one
Woulda done any and everything
No Stevie but I was blind
I kept ignoring the warning signs
That you were playing me all this time
Oh, so silly of me to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause everything you ever said to me was a lie
Don't know what I was thinking, musta been out my mind, oh
[Chorus]
I guess my friends were right
When they said you'd do me wrong
They told me a million times
I’d be better off on my own
I guess my friends were right
I don't know what took me so long
They told me a million times
I'd be better off on my own
[Verse 2]
Oh, I, I was breaking all my rules
You know, the ones my friends told me I should use
There was no doubt you had me fooled
Thought I knew 'bout your type
But I still bought the hype, yeah
Through all the tears and all the suffering
Reminding me I deserve better than this (Better)
Cut the ties, time for saying goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause everything you ever said to me was a lie
Don't know what I was thinking, musta been out my mind
[Chorus]
I, I guess my friends were right (Yeah, yeah)
When they said you'd do me wrong (Do me wrong)
They told me a million times (Yeah, yeah)
I'd be better off on my own (Better off on my own)
I guess my friends were right (Oh)
I don’t know what took me so long
They told me a million times (A million times)
I’d be better off on my own
I guess my friends were right
When they said you'd do me wrong
They told me a million times
I-I’d be better off on my own
I guess my friends were right
I don't know what took me so long
They told me a million times
I'd be better off on my own (Oh)
[Bridge]
I guess my friends were right
Oh, oh, oh
I guess my friends were right
Right
I guess my friends were right
Yeah, yeah
I guess my friends were right
Right
[Chorus]
I guess my friends were right
When they said you'd do me wrong (Ooh)
They told me a million times
I’d be better off on my own (Oh-oh)
I guess my friends were right
I don't know what took me so long
They told me a million times
I'd be better off on my own

A friend of mine was going through a breakup with someone we all knew was trash, so I put myself in her shoes and wrote this song from her perspective. An honest, joyful, ex-bashing moment.
