NOT LIKE ME

you're holding her hand but your eyes are on me

and you ask me to stay when i try to leave

to anyone else i would've said no

but i would do anything for you

so i watch her scroll through her phone all night

and not appreciate the man by her side

and i can't help but fantasize

about getting to call you mine

and it's so not like me to come between

two people in a relationship

but when you come this close to me

you make me forget how to breathe

how can she not see it?

those three little words get stuck on my throat

i keep thinking about that song you wrote

she thinks it's about her and she'll never know

i'm the one you can't let go

but it's not like me to get in the way

so i try to stay away

but how could i when you beg me to stay?

now she went home

and you've got me alone

it's getting cold

you give me your coat

you're dangerously close

i should say no

but i wanna see how far you'll go

it's not like me to be the other girl

but for you i'd risk it all

i'll take the leap 'cause you're worth the fall

and you know not trying

is also not like me

and you won't be happy with her

'cause she's not like me.
