Why Not Me (Pop Version)
Lyricist:Y. Zhao
Composer:Y. Zhao
You wore white lights in your hair
Everyone said you were perfect there
I stood back in a borrowed dress
Trying not to make a mess
The band played loud, I couldn’t breathe
Every note just cut through me
I bit my tongue I stayed composed
While you held someone else close
I keep waiting for the rain to fall
Maybe it’ll wash away it all
Why not me Why her instead
You said forever, now it’s dead
I kept waiting for you to choose
But all I got was you to lose
Why not me Tell me why
Was I just your alibi
Now you’re dancing in her light
And I’m alone here every night
We had plans we never kept
All those promises you left
Every season feels the same
Just echoes of your name
I thought time would let me go
But it only lets me know
Why not me Why her instead
You said forever, now it’s dead
I turned around, felt something break
All that love just turned to ache
Maybe in another life
You’d be mine, I’d be alright
But this one just slipped away
And I’ve got nothing left to say
Why not me I still ask
Was I just your almost past
You moved on so easily
But you took the best of me
Now I’m running from this town
Trying not to drown it out
Yeah, I’m learning how to be
Someone you’ll never need
