Less Like Me

I took a night and wrote all about our quiet little life Painted white in a suburb You'd love me too and make shit up when we'd look at the moon I take your word But I just moved to the city with dollars to my name You'll meet someone pretty when you move out of state She'll be nothing like me, it's better off that way Maybe if I was less like me, you'd stay Sometimes I get close to driving to you Beg you not to go, and you'd listen We double back, you'd say, "I'm stuck with you" Now I'd cry and laugh as we're kissing But I just moved to the city with dollars to my name You'll meet someone pretty when you move out of state She'll be nothing like me, it's better off that way Maybe if I was less like me, you'd stay Maybe if I tried harder to be honest I wouldn't sit down every night to count my losses (maybe if I) Maybe if I tried going after what I wanted I'd come home to you, not an empty apartment (maybe if I) Maybe if I said what I meant when I felt it I'd be singing for you at the edge of our bed and we'd Have our whole lives, we'd never let a good thing die I just moved to the city with dollars to my name I met someone who gets me but the feeling's not the same He's just nothing like you, but I wish he was some days Maybe if I was less like me, you'd stay Maybe if I was less like me, it wouldn't be this way Maybe if I was less like me, you'd stay
