Half As Good

Don't flatter yourself, now, Sugar.
'Cause that ain't my intention.
Don't view me as your competition.
'Cause I don't need the tension.
Don't try to raise no questions.
'Cause I'm not here to listen.
Don't roll your eyes at me, Sweetheart.
'Cause I'm not here to miss him.

I'm just tryin' to drink what's in my hand.
I'm not the kind to cry about a man.

But I don't know what stories he's been telling you,
But I got a couple of them I'd like to say to you.
You're not as lucky as you think you are.
You haven't seen his slate grey heart.
And he probably wrote me off as his crazy ex,
But, Honey, I only did my best
And did what I could.
And when it comes to down to it,
You'll never be  half as good.

I'm not gonna lie to you.
There was a day when I'd have given anything--
What was I thinking?--
Anything to win his love.
But I was always shit out of my luck.
A new girl, every day.

Now, I'm not trying to scare you out of anything.
But I just don't see anything changing.

I don't know what stories he's been telling you,
But I got a couple of them I'd like to say to you.
You're not as lucky as you think you are.
You haven't seen his slate grey heart.
And he probably wrote me off as his crazy ex,
But, Honey, I only did my best
And did what I could.
And when it comes down to it,
You'll never be half as good.

I didn't like his games, but I kept on playin'.
And he's never gonna find a girl where he can say the same thing.
I didn't like his music, and I didn't like his dog.
But the best thing he's ever gonna see is gone.

I don't what stories he's been telling you,
But I got a couple of them I'd like to say to you.
You're not as lucky as you think you are.
He's never ripped you right apart.
And he probably wrote me off as his crazy ex,
But, Honey, I only did my best
And did what I could.
And when it comes down to it,
You'll never be half as good.


Don't flatter yourself now, Sugar.
'Cause that ain't my intention.
Don't roll your eyes at me, Sweetheart.
'Cause I ain't ever gonna miss him.
