ruin me

[Verse]

You never really met me

Truly met me, face to face

I think I've been alone so long

I thought, "no shot that you would stay,"

And so I turned into a stranger

Just to cater to your taste

And I'm too stubborn of a woman

To give in that easily

[Chorus]

Said my second-favorite songs

My second-favorite drinks

Wore the clothes I might outgrow

'Cause your cologne would always sting

Only showed you half my music

So I'd have some left to sing

Guess I thought by keeping to myself

You couldn't ruin me

You couldn't ruin me

[Verse]

You never really met me

Truly met me as I am

I’ve watchеd my friends go through the ringer

With thеir awful taste in men

And I was raised so independent

That I’d acted out of spite

I couldn’t have you change me drastically

If you weren’t there for life

[Chorus]

I said my second-favorite songs

My second-favorite drinks

Wore the clothes I might outgrow

'Cause your cologne would always sting

Only showed you half my music

So I'd have some left to sing

Guess I thought by keeping to myself

You couldn't ruin me

You couldn't ruin me

[Bridge]

And I guess I’ve made it worse

Guess I called it way too early

Guess I’m changing anyway

You could’ve salvaged something worthy

Guess I know now I won’t find someone

If inauthentically

Guess I know now I feel guilty

'Cause I just let you believe

[Chorus]

All my second-favorite songs

My second-favorite drinks

Wore the clothes I might outgrow

'Cause your cologne would always sting

Only showed you half my music

So I'd have some left to sing

Guess I thought by keeping to myself

You couldn't ruin me
