You lie to yourself
And you lied to my friends
I tried to be tall
And I thought if I'd bend
You would come over
From there where you stand
Maybe you'd see who I really am
But I'm not enough
And I never once was
What you wanted

The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
No I'll never be
Who you want me to be
Let me just walk away
Without causing a scene
Oh you're not who you seem
The best part of us was me
The best part of us was me

You were so shiny
I got knocked off my track
I overlooked this
And I overlooked that
You're in the spotlight
And not what you seemed
Creepy nightmare bowed from a dream
I'm not enough
And I never once was
What you wanted

The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
Yeah
No I'll never be
Who you want me to be
Let me just walk away
Without causing a scene
Oh you're not who you seem
The best part of us was me

The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
Yeah
The best part of you and me
Was me
So I'll just bow out elegantly
If I'll never be who you want me to be
Let me just walk away without causing a scene
Oh you're not who you seemed
The best part of us was me
