This song was written after a necessary break up, where I realized I liked who I was before I started the relationship I was in. I was worth more than the guy was treating me and i didn’t need him to tell me I’m the shit.
[Intro]
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ohhh yeah
[Verse 1: Parisalexa]
I used to take myself out on dates
Open my own damn doors
Pay for everything on my plate
Sometimes I'd even get the steak
Cause I got it like that
Always had my own back
Never needed no man to rely on
Got two good shoulders to cry on
I was alright on my own
'Till I fell but it wasn't fate
And I couldn't tell at the time
But I was my own soulmate
It's like I forgot I was fine
Let you treat me any kind of way
Now I'm free I gotta celebrate
You couldn't see everything at stake
Glad that I wasn't afraid to say, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
If I gotta choose me
I won't be afraid to (if I gotta)
If I gotta choose me
I gotta do what I gotta do
When I love you, I lose me
No, I can't be attached to you no more
I like me better when I wasn't yours
[Chorus]
I'm going back, I'm going back
I'm going back, I'm going
I'm going back, I'm going
I'm going back to who I was before
I like me better, I like me better
I like me better, yeah yeah
I like me better, I like me
I like me better when I wasn't yours
I like me better, I like me better
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 2: Jaz]
I gave you all that you asked of me
You liked the view from behind
But you won't make an ass of me
That's why I'm saying goodbye
Hoppin' out my feelings, get to the money
Gotta keep it a hundred
Leaving you ain't really took nothin' from me
So don't come looking for me
I'm that bitch and I have it
You forgot but I haven't
You was just an old habit
So imma disappear like magic
I'm that bitch and I have it
You forgot but I haven't
Now you wish that you had it
But all I gotta say back is
[Pre-Chorus]
If I gotta choose me
I won't be afraid to
If I gotta choose me
I gotta do what I gotta do (what I gotta do)
When I love you, I lose me
No, I can't be attached to you no more
(can't be attached to you no more)
I like me better when I wasn't yours (I wasn't yours)
[Chorus]
I'm going back, I'm going back
I'm going back, I'm going
I'm going back, I'm going (I'm going back)
I'm going back to who I was before
I like me better, I like me better
I like me better, yeah yeah (better yeah yeah)
I like me better, I like me (better yeah yeah)
I like me better when I wasn't yours
[Outro: Parisalexa]
I like me better when I wasn't
I'm going back, hey
I'm going back, I'm going
I'm going back, I'm going
