You're Doing It Right
Track 6 of I Hope She Treats You Right
[ Lyrics ]
You're doing it right, I wasn't. You're doing it right, I wasn't. Saw your comment on his story, clear as daylight, ‘Talk to me before you ghost my friends’ — damn, that’s brave. I bit my tongue the first time he disappeared, faked a headache, deleted my plans, stayed chained. You set a rule, then backed it with a block, while I rewrote my worth in apology notes. You wore your pride like a leather jacket — tight, I wore mine like a sweater I let him hide. You don’t twist your hair when he’s late, You don’t check his flight just in case. You just move — clear and bright, Like you know your own damn name. You're doing it right, I wasn't. You're doing it right, I wasn't. You blocked his number after one no-call, I waited three weeks, then made excuses for all. You're doing it right — and girl, I see it all. He probably smiled that crooked kind of smile, the one that says he’s sorry but won’t try. You just said, ‘Prove it,’ didn’t beg for proof, I used to cry at receipts, chasing truth. You let silence speak, then walked away clean, I’d answer his 2 a.m. — ‘Where’ve you been?’ You took up space without asking for room, I shrunk into corners, playing martyr to the moon. You don’t wear his love like a crown you can lose, You don’t rewrite your bio to blend in his views. You just live — bold and unglued, Like the world was made for you too. You're doing it right, I wasn't. You're doing it right, I wasn't. You blocked his number after one no-call, I waited three weeks, then made excuses for all. You're doing it right — and girl, I see it all. I used to think love meant bleeding slow, letting him in every time he showed. But you — you draw the line like art, don’t apologize for needing a heart. And if he loves you better, more power to him, but if he breaks you? I know how you win. You're doing it right, I wasn't. You're doing it right, I wasn't. You blocked his number after one no-call, I waited three weeks, then made excuses for all. You're doing it right — and girl, I see it all. You're doing it — you're doing it — you're doing it right. Yeah… you're doing it right. You're doing it… right.
