“It Was You” is a song written by Nick Blaemire and performed by Nick Blaemire & The Hustle.
The song is about how it feels to be in an emotionally abusive relationship (being manipulated, gaslighted, guilted, etc), and the confusing feelings that come with trying to cut ties once and for all.
You were sitting still
When the thought came rushing by
You don't know if you're able
You'd rather not be scared
You'd rather like to try
At finally being stable
You learn to let her in
Against all the advice
You really thought she had it
But all you really want
Was to stop the thinking twice
About averages you've batted
Oh, whoa
And she will try with all her might
To never let it go
She believes she must be right
That you won't let her go
'Cause if you do
It wasn't her
It was you
She brings out all the songs you never want to write
'Cause you tried to be steady
But she can hear your heart
And she knows where to strike
And those eyes can be deadly
Deadly
And she will try with all her might
To never let it go
She believes she must be right
So if you let her go
It will be true
It wasn't her
It was you
It was you
You don't believe in anything, anymore
You don't believe in anything, anymore
You don't believe
(You don't believe)
You don't believe
(You don't believe)
In anything, anymore
You don't believe!
You don't believe
(You don't believe)
HOW could you believe
Anything, anymore?
You don't believe
OHH! You don't believe
(You don't believe)
In anything, anymore!
You don't know what to trust
What ever you decide
The feeling is... confusing
It's never what you hoped
It's always what you tried
But never thought of losing
I'm losing!
When we were good, it felt so right
You'd never let her go
But now it's heavy, so you might
Now with all that you know
You promised to her
But you lied
At least that's what she sees
What can the truth truly be?
Then it's true
It wasn't her
It was you
