Do I remind you of the pain
That he put you through, girl
Is that the reason I'm to blame
Before I do so I have to know
Is it because he treated you so badly
I always stand accused like I'm on trial
Protecting yourself, from somebody else
I'm not who's hurting you my love
it's killing me girl knowing you compare me to him
Always guilty before the sin
I can't persuade you or convince you
I'll do anything to prove I love you
Baby girl would I refuse to
Pay for something I didn't do
I love you darling but I refuse to stay
paying for the sentence of an guilty person
He left a scar across your heart
I understand my beauty but
Don't let his wrongs tear us apart
Cause baby I'm your man
Just because he broke your heart
You swear I'm cheating on you
You think I just don't care about your feelings
Why must I do time for another man's crime
Girl you know that ain't fair at all
I'm trying to show you something real
Figure out what is going on with you
But you continue to comparing me to him
Before you look up and say your apologizes
I'll be gone and out the door because
I'll won't pay for another man's...mistakes
