Be Someone Else

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I would rather be someone else
