Hi MM,

The rewrite for You Lost Me - as discussed earlier today. As you can see, I didn’t change the title. I see no reason to change it. Thanks for the opportunity to improve my lyric writing skills.

Let me know your thoughts!

You Lost Me

[Verse 1:]
So long to second chances
And trying to pretend
I found her scratch marks on your back
Her perfume on your skin

I forgave you once before
But your luck just ran out
I’m over trying to save you
Done getting kicked around

[Chorus:]
I fell straight into your arms
Captivated by your charm
No more not again
You had me
You had me
You had me
You had me
I gave you one more chance to change
Guess that was my mistake
Goodbye’s overdue
You lost me
You lost me
You lost me for good

[Verse 2:]
The second time you’ve crossed the line
Get off your hands and knees
Your demons run too deep for me
Your act has worn thin

Keep all of your apologies
And all your sad excuses
They really don’t mean that much to me
Anymore

[Chorus:]
I fell straight into your arms
Captivated by your charm
No more not again
You had me
You had me
You had me
You had me
I gave you one more chance to change
Guess that was my mistake
Goodbye’s overdue
You lost me
You lost me
You lost me for good

[Bridge:]

You fooled me once / you fooled me twice

But there won't be a next time

Not even if you begged me on your knees / a million times

I don’t need your confession

It’s time for you to face the truth / you lost me
You broke my heart / tore it apart

You tried to play me for a fool

I’m better off without you / please don’t try to change my mind

Just pack your things and leave 

This time the lesson is too late / you lost me

[Chorus:]
I fell straight into your arms
Captivated by your charm
No more not again
You had me
You had me
You had me
You had me
I gave you one more chance to change
Guess that was my mistake
Goodbye’s overdue
You lost me
You lost me
You lost me for good

[Outro:]
It’s time to face the truth
This goodbye’s overdue
You lost me for good
