[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I got so mad 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

[Chorus]
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
Instеad I wrote a song

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instеad I wrote a song
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song
[Bridge]
Let's celebrate, dance it away
I thought my heart would break
Yeah
Let's celebrate, dance it away
I thought my heart would break

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Uh)
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Yeah)
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Uh)
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-I (I wrote a song)
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Yeah-ah)
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song
