Carly Pearce
Never Wanted To Be That Girl (Acoustic Version)
[Verse 1: Ashley McBryde]
He helped me change a tire in the Citgo parkin' lot
He said we both could use a beer
And I said "Hell, why not?"
What started out as one night turned to six months just like that
He never had a ring on
So I never thought to ask

[Pre-Chorus: Ashley McBryde]
But then last night, I saw a message on his phone
That said, "Hey, babe, what time you comin' home?"

[Chorus: Ashley McBryde]
I never wanted to be that girl
I never wanted to hate myself
I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else
Bеin' "The Other One" whеn there's another one
God, this feels like hell
I thought I knew who I was, but it's gettin' hard to tell
I never wanted to be that girl

[Verse 2: Carly Pearce]
I've heard about those women who didn't have a clue
The ones that made excuses like my mama used to do
And he jumps in the shower just as soon as he gets home
And I'll spend half an hour goin' through his phone
[Chorus: Carly Pearce]
I never wanted to be that girl
I never wanted to hate myself
I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else
Bein' "The Other One" when there's another one
God, this feels like hell
I thought I knew who I was, but it's gettin' hard to tell
I never wanted to be that girl

[Bridge: Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde]
Oh, and I feel stupid
I feel cheap
I feel used
I feel weak

[Chorus: Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde, Both]
I never wanted to be that girl
I never wanted to hate myself
I thought this kind of lonely only happens to somebody else
Bein' "The Other One" when there's another one
God, this feels like hell
I thought I knew who I was, but it's gettin' hard to tell
I never wanted to be that girl
I never wanted to be that girl
I never wanted to be that girl
