He helped me change a tire in the Citgo parking 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

But then last night

I saw a message on his phone

That said Hey babe what time you comin home

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely

Only happens to somebody else

Being The Other One when there's another one

God this feels like hell

Thought I knew who I was but it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

I 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 spend half an hour going through his phone

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely

Only happens to somebody else

Being The Other One when there's another one

God this feels like hell

I thought I knew who I was

But it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

Oh and I feel stupid

I feel cheap

I feel used

I feel weak

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to hate myself

I thought this kind of lonely

only happens to somebody else

Being The Other One when there's another one

God this feels like hell

I thought I knew who I was

But it's getting hard to tell

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to be that girl

I never wanted to be that girl
