When you said you were leaving
To work on your mental health
You didn't mention the cheating, yeah
You kept that one to yourself, I got so mad
I was gonna cuss you out outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz, tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me
Instead I wrote a song 'bout how you did me wrong
I could've cried at home and spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song, I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out, and we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-dai, da-da-da-da-dai
Da-da-da-da-dai, instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-dai, da-da-da-da-dai
Da-da-da-da-dai, instead I wrote a song
I kept my cool and composure (I kept my cool and composure)
My mother would be so proud (my mother would be so proud)
I was ready for a sentence, baby
Instead I wrote it all down
Oh, I was gonna cuss you out outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz, tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me
Instead I wrote a song 'bout how you did me wrong
I could've cried at home and spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song, I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out, and we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-dai, da-da-da-da-dai
Da-da-da-da-dai, instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-dai, da-da-da-da-dai
Da-da-da-da-dai, instead I wrote a song
Let's celebrate, dance it away
I thought my heart would break (ooh), yeah
Let's celebrate (ooh), dance it away (ooh)
I thought my heart would break
Instead I wrote a song 'bout how you did me wrong
I could've cried at home and spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song, I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out, and we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da (oh), da-da-da-da-da (yeah)
Da-da-da-da-da (uh), instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-da (I wrote a song), da-da-da-da-da (I-)
Da-da-da-da-da, instead I wrote a song
