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 you 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
I let it slip when I try to forget that
I know you too well
And you 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)

Love the way your best friends see you
You turn the world when you walk by
I'm just happy that you called
Rather part of you than none at all

So I bite my tongue so I can't regret it
But let it slip when I try to forget that
I know you too well
And you 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 workin'
"Took a little time, but baby now I see"
Well, maybe if I wasn't me
