I know something you don't
You’ll have to trust me on this
The way you think that you want me
Honey, it don’t exist
I know you stand in the light
And you try to be seen
Babe, I see you and more
Come on now, listen to me
So listen to me
I looked at someone
The same way you say you see me
And I stood in the light
Hoping I would be seen
God, when he sang about it
I’d be happy to die
Two gins and ten songs
I must have cried the whole night
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan (just be a fan)
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan
You might ache till you’re mad
But you’d lose what you had
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan
So just be a fan
We connected in town
Small talk, coffee on me
My hands shook under the table
Can’t believe that he speaks
Sounded just like the record
When he laid out his year
Pretended I didn’t notice
Thought that that would be weird
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan (just be a fan)
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan
You imagine a scene
But it’s only a dream
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan
So just be a fan
As it turns out
That song didn’t mean what I thought
I wish that I didn’t know
Yeah, I preferred it before
I try to cry like I used to
When I think of him now
But all that comes up
Is awkward coffee in town
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan (just be a fan)
Yeah, it’s better to just be a fan
I’d fill in all of the cracks
And you’d just want "me" back
Yeah, it’s better to just be
You’ll just have to trust me
It’s better to just be a fan
So just be a fan
