She's not me
I don’t want your hands to touch me,
Knowing they have touched her too.
Something that once felt like it was mine
No longer feels the same with you.
I tried to change to be the woman
I thought you wanted me to be.
I gave you everything you asked for,
But you still wanted more than me.
No matter what I did for you,
You always wanted something more.
I kept on trying to hold us close,
While you had one foot out the door.
All the promises you made me
Fade like clouds across the sky.
You once swore they’d last forever,
Now I’m left to wonder why.
There was a time I was your partner,
Your number one, your first in line.
Then others slowly came before me,
Taking what was once all mine.
The list kept growing, I kept falling,
Further down as time went by.
Until I wasn’t on it anymore,
No matter how hard I tried.
You said you needed reminding
That you had a wife at home.
But the ring upon your finger
Should have told you so.
Tell your fantasy your secrets,
Give her all you have to give.
She never shared the years we had,
Or the life we chose to live.
I stayed beside you through the years,
Through every high and every low.
I gave you more than words can say,
More than you may ever know.
So give her all your secrets,
Give her everything you need.
She may have your attention now,
But she can never be me.
And when the fantasy starts fading,
And you finally start to see,
Remember what you left behind
And remember, she’s not me.
