Instead

Go, be yourself, on your way
And don't ever look back
To check if I'm okay
And don't ever be sad
That you chose him instead
'Cause I don't want regrets
And I'd rather be rid of it

And when you want someone who'll care
Who will know how you feel
When you don't wanna share
Who will show you support
When you've lost your meaning
Just remember this time
When you chose not to be with me

And I tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed
That I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh choose me instead 'cause

He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half as good as he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me

Go be in love I don't care
But don't ever pretend
That we're both unaware cause
The truth is that you still permit me to be
Close enough that I know
That you don't want me to leave

And then I remember he's there
And he's been there for years
At your side like a stain
And when I see you with him
In your eyes there's a pain
And it's trapped you inside
Like you can't get away

And I tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed
That I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh choose me instead cause

He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half as good as he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me

I tried to defend
How I thought we would play out
I came and confessed
That I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh choose me instead

He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough for you
He won't do the things that I would do
He's not good enough for you
He's not good enough to be
Even half the man that he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me
