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 He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you 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
