[Verse 1]
She called me up, she had a hard night
Wanted some love to make her alright
I didn't know that in her mind
We were getting closer when really, we were over

[Pre-Chorus]
Possessive turned to passive in the middle of the night
Now in your vision, I'm the villain, you can't look me in the eyes
I watched your jealousy turn my sincerity
Into dishonesty, but I'll be the bigger person, babe

[Chorus]
I know you havе to hate me
Won't blame you if you blamе me
I promise even though it hurts
I won't take it personal
You've got some harbored feelings
Like I left you for no reason
I promise even though it hurts
I won't take it personal

[Verse 2]
It's for the best, the way it ended
I failed your test, rose-colored lenses
Are what you wore to hide the damage
But you can't fix glass when it's shattered in half
[Pre-Chorus]
Possessive turned to passive in the middle of the night
There's no going back to what we had, no rearranging time
'Cause all your jealousy turned my sincerity
Into dishonesty, but I'll be the bigger person, babe

[Chorus]
I know you have to hate me
Won't blame you if you blame me
I promise even though it hurts
I won't take it personal
You've got some harbored feelings
Like I left you for no reason
I promise even though it hurts
I won't take it personal

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
I wish I had known
You'd take it so personal
I wish you'd let it go
Don't take it so personal
I wish I had known
You'd take it so personal
Don't take it so personal
