"wish it was me" lyrics

"wish it was me"

I thought we were getting on quite well
I thought that we were going somewhere
Strung me alone while you had options
But you got my full attention
No, that ain't fair
I guess it means I ain't that special
It's a shame I really thought we had potential
Could see us going the distance
You wanted somebody different

Mm, there's nothing worse than saying that
You want someone, to find out they don't want you
It was somebody behind you

So what do they have that I don't?
And what do they do that I won't?
Watching them stand where I want to be
I'm kind of sad, I wish it was me
What did I do that's so wrong?
Hate that you led me on and on
Why did you hold me knowing you'd leave?
I'm kind of sad, I wish it was me

I'm so ashamed for feeling like this
Envy's a curse I'm fighting
'Cause you chose something new and exiting
And now I'm crying

'Cause there's nothing worse than saying that
You want someone, to find out they don't want you
It was somebody behind you

So what do they have that I don't?
And what do they do that I won't?
Watching them stand where I want to be
I'm kind of sad, I wish it was me
What did I do that's so wrong?
Hate that you led me on and on
Why did you hold me knowing you'd leave?
I'm kind of sad, I wish it was me

I wish it was me who got the call
I wish it was me, I gave it all
I don't understand how you can't see me here
You used to see me
I wish it was me, I hate to lose
I wish it was me, I'm so confused
I don't understand how you can't see me here
You used to see me

So what do they have that I don't?
And what do they do that I won't?
Watching them stand where I want to be
I'm kind of sad, I wish it was me
What did I do that's so wrong?
Hate that you led me on and on
Why did you hold me knowing you'd leave?
I'm kind of sad, I wish it was me
