"Be Someone Else" lyrics

If I didn't call, would you even notice?
Am I better off without ever knowing?
Is it just my fault for letting you walk in like you did
Picturing your hair laying next to my head?
Staring at the fan, thinking 'bout what you said
I would be your man if I wasn't so far away

I would rather be someone else
Than be myself without you
I would rather live on your shelf
Than be someone else's to use

Call me Christmas Eve
Tell me that you're thankful that I'm in your life
But I don't even see you
Give me just enough to keep me on the end of your line
Is there something wrong?
Am I good enough?
Do I measure up to everything you want?
Would I really be your man if I wasn't so far away?

I would rather be someone else
Than be myself without you
I would rather live on your shelf
Than be someone else's to use

I would rather be someone else
Than be myself without you
I would rather live on your shelf
Than be someone else's to use
I would rather be someone else
