Everything I'm Not

"Oh no, don't go changin'"
That's what you told me from the start
Thought you were somethin' different
That's when it all just felt apart.
Like, you're so perfect
And I can't measure up
Well, I'm not perfect
Just all messed up.
I was losing myself to somebody else
But, now I see
I don't wanna pretend, so, this is the end of you and me
'Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
'Cause she's everything, everything I'm not.
It's not like I need somebody
Telling me where I should go at night
Don't worry you'll find somebody
Someone to tell how to live that life.
'Cause you're so perfect
And no one measures up
You're all by yourself
And all messed up.
I was losing myself to somebody else
But, now I see
I don't wanna pretend, so, this is the end of you and me
'Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
'Cause she's everything, everything I'm not.
Now, wait a minute,
Because of you
I never knew all the things that I had
Hey, don't you get it?
I'm not going anywhere with you tonight
'Cause this is my life.
I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see (now I see, yeah)
I don't wanna pretend so this is the end of you and me (the end of you and me)
'Cause the girl that you want (that you want)
She was tearing us apart
'Cause she's everything, everything I'm not. (everything I'm not)
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend so this is the end of you and me
'Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
'Cause she's everything, everything I'm not.
