It Wasn’t You Lyrics by Jess and Tay

2021

[Verse 1]
Grew up wondering
Grew up wishing he was
Little bit of everything
That you saw in the movies when you were young
Truck light shining bright in the window
Red roses in his hand on the front porch
Tells your momma you'll be back by ten
If only that's how it happened
[Chorus]
'Cause I wish I would've known that you weren't the one I dreamed of
Not the only one I'd ever be loved by, touched by, oh my
Wish somebody would've told me love doesn't last forever
Sometimes it doesn't get better
Oh, why did I try? Was I blind?
I really wish that it could've been you
But it wasn't you
It just wasn't you
[Verse 2]
Every girl dreams of that first man
She gets to say "Hey, this is my boyfriend"
And then three years go by and
Daddy still don't like the guy
I thought that I'd be getting princess and magic
No happy ever after, baby, it's tragic
But that just happens
[Chorus]
'Cause I wish I would've known that you weren't the one I dreamed of
Not the only one I'd ever be loved by, touched by, oh my
Wish somebody would've told me love doesn't last forever
Sometimes it doesn't get better
Oh, why did I try? Was I blind?
I really wish that it could've been you
But it wasn't you
It just wasn't you
It wasn't you
[Bridge]
And now I've got someone who treats me right
No bullshit lies and stupid fights
He showed me what I deserve
Love, it doesn't have to hurt
[Chorus]
But I wish I would've known that you weren't the one I dreamed of
Not the only one I'd ever be loved by, touched by, oh my
Wish somebody would've told me love doesn't last forever
Sometimes it doesn't get better
Oh, why did I try? Was I blind?
I really wish that it could've been you
But it wasn't you
Just wasn't you
[Outro]
And I think that I always knew
It wasn't you
No, it wasn't you
