You’re Not Me

[Verse 1]
You think I've got it all?
Everyone thinks I've got it made
Well, how come my only friends are the ones I pay?
No one understands
What I would do to change my life for just one day

[Chorus]
Don't say if I were you (Say if I were you)
Or tell me what you'd do
How things would be if you were in my shoes
'Cause you're not me

[Verse 2]
You know what I need
And it's not another serenade
I get so tired of all the things you say
Give me what I want, if you only would
I'd gladly throw this all away

[Chorus]
Don't say if I were you (Say if I were you)
Or tell me what you'd do
How things would be if you were in my shoes
'Cause you're not me
Please take me as I am (Take me as I am)
This isn't what I planned
I guess I don't expect that you could understand
'Cause you're not me

[Bridge]
I know you think you're being nice
But spare me all your lame advice
Time to play my hand and roll the dice
Everybody's got their price
For far too long, I've been denied
I'll make up my moves, so just step aside
No one can say I never tried
To do everything to get back my pride

Yeah, you will never be
Why can't you see
That you're not me?

[Chorus]
Don't say if I were you (Say if I were you)
Or tell me what you'd do (Tell me what you'd do)
How things would be
If you were in my shoes
'Cause you're not me
Please help me if you can (Help me if you can)
This isn't what I planned (This isn't what I planned)
Guess that I don't expect that you could understand
'Cause you're not me
