If I Wasn't Me
I would rather sit in corners
At the parties we go to
I would watch you socialize
You don't even have to try
I've always been the observer
You say I give the best advice
But if I gave it honestly
You would know you're killing me
So I bite my tongue so I can't regret it
Or let it slip when I try to forget that
I know you too well
And you'd want someone else
But maybe in another life
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
Myself because I'm damaged
Maybe on another planet
I would grab your face and say
"I love you even if you don't feel the same way"
Maybe if I was who I pretend to be
Maybe if I wasn't me
I love the way your best friends see you
You turn the world when you walk by
I'm just happy that you call
Rather part of you then none at all
So I bite my tongue so I can't regret it
Or let it slip when I try to forget that
I know you too well
And you'd want someone else
But maybe in another life
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
Myself because I'm damaged
Maybe on another planet
I would grab your face and say
"I love you even if you don't feel the same way"
Maybe if I was who I pretend to be
Maybe if I wasn't me
Maybe if I wasn't me
Cause I'm chaos
And you're perfect
Wish you'd grab my hand and tell me it's working
It took a little time but baby now I see
Well maybe if I wasn't me
At the parties we go to
I would watch you socialize
You don't even have to try
I've always been the observer
You say I give the best advice
But if I gave it honestly
You would know you're killing me
So I bite my tongue so I can't regret it
Or let it slip when I try to forget that
I know you too well
And you'd want someone else
But maybe in another life
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
Myself because I'm damaged
Maybe on another planet
I would grab your face and say
"I love you even if you don't feel the same way"
Maybe if I was who I pretend to be
Maybe if I wasn't me
I love the way your best friends see you
You turn the world when you walk by
I'm just happy that you call
Rather part of you then none at all
So I bite my tongue so I can't regret it
Or let it slip when I try to forget that
I know you too well
And you'd want someone else
But maybe in another life
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
Myself because I'm damaged
Maybe on another planet
I would grab your face and say
"I love you even if you don't feel the same way"
Maybe if I was who I pretend to be
Maybe if I wasn't me
Maybe if I wasn't me
Cause I'm chaos
And you're perfect
Wish you'd grab my hand and tell me it's working
It took a little time but baby now I see
Well maybe if I wasn't me
