## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Always say you love me, but you

Always make it all about you

'Specially when you've had a few, oh, oh yeah

All the things I heard from your ex

Now they make a whole lot of sense

Already feel bad for your next

They have to put up with you, oh yeah

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Worked on myself, opened my eyes

You hate my friends, turns out they were right

It takes two to make it all go right

**[Chorus]**

But with you, it's always my fault

And your short fuse, just like a timebomb

And I think you should take a second just to look at your reflection

Baby, maybe you'rе the problem

Oh, can you, you see a pattern?

Your point of viеw, got it all backwards

You should take your little finger and just point it in the mirror

Baby, maybe you're the problem

**[Post-Chorus]**

You should take your little finger, and just point it in the mirror

Baby, maybe you're the problem

**[Verse 2]**

Ego always doin' the most

Out of touch and not even close

Drama always follows you home

But I won't be waitin' no more

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Worked on myself, opened my eyes

You hate my friends, turns out they were right

It takes two to make it all go right

**[Chorus]**

But with you, it's always my fault

And your short fuse, just like a timebomb

And I think you should take a second just to look at your reflection

Baby, maybe you're the problem

Oh, can you, you see a pattern?

Your point of view, got it all backwards

You should take your little finger and just point it in the mirror

Baby, maybe you're the problem

**[Post-Chorus]**

You should take your little finger and just point it in the mirror

Baby, maybe you're the problem

**[Bridge]**

It's not me, it's you

It's not me, it's you

It's not me, it's you

**[Chorus]**

But with you, it's always my fault

And your short fuse, just like a timebomb

And I think you should take a second just to look at your reflection

Baby, maybe you're the problem

Oh, can you, you see a pattern?

Your point of view, got it all backwards

You should take your little finger and just point it in the mirror

Baby, maybe you're the problem (Oh)

**[Post-Chorus]**

You should take your little finger and just point it in the mirror

Baby, maybe you're the problem (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
