If He Isn't Me

I've been holding onto this for too long
Trying to make it by
Day to day continue to wait
For you to come around

But you don't ever seem to get the picture
Or maybe I refuse to
Listen to my friends
That you're just too
Good for me

So I'll pretend that I'm
Happy for you and him
When he comes around
But I hope I'm not around

I hope I'm moving to New York
Or touring L. A
I hope I never get the chance to
See his face
I'm not angry I'm just jealous of
Whoever he will be
But I know you'll be happier if
He isn't me

If he isn't me

So what now
Where am I supposed to go from here
It's harder than it looks
If I give it a couple years
Will my feelings forget their hurting

And tell me how
Do I get over perfection?
No one seems to mention
I guess my friends were right
You're just too good for me

So I'll pretend that I'm
Happy for you and him
When he comes around
But I hope I'm not around

I hope I'm moving to New York
Or touring L. A
I hope I never get the chance to
See his face
I'm not angry I'm just jealous of
Whoever he will be
But I know you'll be happier if
He isn't me

No I don't want anybody else
But I'll keep that to myself
'Cause I see it in your face
That's not what you want me to say
Not what you want me to say

So I'll pretend that I'm happy for you and him
When he comes around
But I hope I'm not around

I hope I'm moving to New York
Or touring L. A
I hope I never get the chance to
See his face
I'm not angry I'm just jealous of
Whoever he will be
But I know you'll be happier if
He isn't me
