Ella Mai – Left Me lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody says time heals all pain
But time itself caused you to change
Never thought you'd quit
Said you wanted to commit
But you didn't embrace me as your benefit, no
I thought our intellect had us intertwined
You let her lies change your mind
When I look for you it's like I'm blind
But in your absence it's me I find

[Chorus]
I don't understand how you could ever leave me
I did it all for you baby
Can't take back time that you wasted
And you claim that it's you, it's not me
But you left me, you left me, you left me
But I found myself

[Hook]
It was good for me, it was good for me (yea)
Realised I was more than you wanted me to be, baby
It was good for me, it was good for me (yea)
Realised I was more than you wanted me to be

Tried to put me down, put me down, put me down
You tried to put me down
Thinking you were slick
Boy you ain't shit (nah)

Tried to put me down, put me down, put me down
You tried to put me down
Thinking you were slick
Boy you ain't shit

[Verse 2]
Boy quit playing
You already had your chance
You coulda had me number one
I told you in advance
Instead you were messing with those girls around your way
You realised your mistake
You turned but it's too late (late)

[Chorus]
I don't understand how you could ever leave me
I did it all for you baby
Can't take back time that you wasted
And you claim that it's you, it's not me
But you left me, you left me, you left me
But I found myself

[Hook]
It was good for me, it was good for me (yea)
Realised I was more than you wanted me to be, baby
It was good for me, it was good for me (yea)
Realised I was more than you wanted me to be

Tried to put me down, put me down, put me down
You tried to put me down
Thinking you were slick
Boy you ain't shit, nah

Tried to put me down, put me down, put me down
You tried to put me down
Thinking you were slick
Boy you ain't shit
