Not Me
Regretful Reflections: Love Lost in the Echoes of 'Not Me'
Lyrics
If I could only turn back time
If only I could go back in time
To the days when you were mine
To the days when you belonged to me
I'd wrap you up with these two arms
I would embrace you tightly with these arms
And never let you go
And never release you
I'd say the things I didn't say
I would express the unsaid words
The words that might have made you stay
The words that could have persuaded you to stay
I'd build my world around you, not me
I would center my world around you, not myself
I was always somewhere else
I was always preoccupied elsewhere
Thinkin' only of myself
Thinking only of my own interests
Livin' just to chase a dream
Living solely to pursue a doubtful dream
A dream that was a doubt
A dream that was uncertain
I should've seen the warnin' signs
I neglected the warning signs
I never paid 'em any mind
I paid no attention to them
Everybody saw it comin', not me
Everyone anticipated it except for me
I kept reachin' for the stars and shootin' for the moon
I aimed for the unreachable, not realizing what I had
When all along I had them in my hand
All the while, I had everything in my grasp
Little did I know how fast my world could slip away
Unaware of how quickly my world could crumble
It took losin' you for me to understand
It took losing you for me to comprehend
That all you ever wanted was
All you desired was to be a step above
Just to be a step above
A step above all the obstacles to our love
All the things that stood between
Obstacles that hindered our love
The love we should have had
The love we should have shared
I can't say that I blame you now
I can't blame you now
For holdin' on to what you've found
For holding on to what you found
I guess I'm why you're with him now
I suppose I'm the reason you're with him now
I guess I'm why you're with him, not me
I guess I'm the reason you're with him, not me
