It Was You - Taj Jackson

how did i let you down
i wanna know
were you looking for applause
before i started the show
when i should of read the script
so i could see how you play the role
of it's not you, it's me
and you need time to think
well he don't know you like i know you
and he won't listen to complain and understand
you chose to let somebody else take my place
can't even look me in my face
too hard to say

it was you (it was you)
you lived through my harder days
it was you (it was you)
that had me so caught up in the game
cos of you (cos of you)
i won't ever look at love the same
if there's anyone to blame for the tears
and for my pain
if was you (oh oh whoa)

you seem to have your plan all figured out i see
on the first day of audition,
said there's no other made like me
once a heart is broken it's not easy to assemble
had no instructions and was easy to read
but your hero (?)
he don't wanna live in a barbie house with you
you chose to put me on a shelf far away
so you wouldn't have to see my face
and hear me say

it was you (it was you)
you lived through my harder days
it was you (it was you, it was you)
that had me so caught up in the game
cos of you (cos of you)
i won't ever look at love the same
if there's anyone to blame for the tears
and for my pain
if was you

i'm done with wondering what you're looking for
i tried everything (everything),
but one day you're gonna know the truth
hope that the next one can love them like i do
like i wanted to
yes i loved you
ooh yes i loved you
ooh i tried to forget you

it was you (it was you)
you lived through my harder days
it was you (it was you)
that had me so caught up in the game
cos of you (cos of you)
i won't ever look at love the same
if there's anyone to blame for the tears
and for my pain
it was you (it was you)
you lived through my harder days
it was you (it was you)
that had me so caught up in the game
cos of you (cos of you)
i won't ever look at love the same
if there's anyone to blame for the tears
and for the pain
if was you
