Not Me
I don’t want to lead you on
But I don’t want to let you go
I don’t want to be the one
That you love so
I don’t want to make you think
That we stand a chance
I don’t want to take one blink
And find I’m in a romance
So I’m sorry if I pull away sometimes
Sorry if I don’t always give a reason why
I’m sorry if I don’t meet your needs
Sorry that I cannot be who you want me to be
I know that I cannot give
You what you want from me
And I know that I hurt you
So often and easily
And I wish I could make it stop
All the pain I put you through
I wish I could heal your heart
Make it just like new
So I’m sorry if I pull away sometimes
Sorry if I don’t always give a reason why
I’m sorry if I don’t meet your needs
Sorry that I cannot be who you want me to be
I just want to be your friend
Sticking by you til the very end
And I can help you when you’re down
I can wipe away that frown
But please don’t read it any deeper than
What it’s meant to show
I know that you analyze things
To the point of overload
So I’m sorry if I pull away sometimes
Sorry if I don’t always give a reason why
I’m sorry if I don’t meet your needs
Sorry that I cannot be who you want me to be
So I hope that you’ll see
That I’m trying to be
Always there by your side
But not under your arm
And I know that you’ll find
Your special someone
Who’ll love you the way you need
But please just know
That it will not be me
