He Wasn't Me
I saw you,
I saw me,
Sitting together,
Moulded into one,
Not a care in the world,
Two souls,
Locked away in time,
Forever,
But it wasn't me,
No it wasn't
He only looked like me,
He had the same hair,
He had the same face,
But he wasn't me,
If he was,
He would have never,
Got this far,
No, not with you,
He would've stumbled,
To your heart,
And been turned down,
At it's very gates,
He would've faced his demons,
And all of yours,
Unsure every step along the way,
Which way the wind blow,
He would've written you ballads,
And poems,
A thousand and one,
And even kissed death,
In her wretched face,
No, he wasn't,
If he was,
If only he was,
If only I was,
Him and not me.

He Wasn't Me
I saw you,
I saw me,
Sitting together,
Moulded into one,
Not a care in the world,
Two souls,
Locked away in time,
Forever,
But it wasn't me,
No it wasn't
He only looked like me,
He had the same hair,
He had the same face,
But he wasn't me,
If he was,
He would have never,
Got this far,
No, not with you,
He would've stumbled,
To your heart,
And been turned down,
At it's very gates,
He would've faced his demons,
And all of yours,
Unsure every step along the way,
Which way the wind blow,
He would've written you ballads,
And poems,
A thousand and one,
And even kissed death,
In her wretched face,
No, he wasn't,
If he was,
If only he was,
If only I was,
Him and not me.
