The one that you need (edited)
(If you read this before, I changed the bridge completely because I'm a little less bitter about it now.)
I saw a picture of you today.
You were smiling at someone out of frame,
And even though I couldn’t see her face
There’s no one else you look at that way.
She was always the one you’d run to.
Why her? I never knew.
When I was always there to help you make it through,
Why is she the one for you?
Well, I never got the chance to show you how life could be.
I never allowed myself to set my feelings free.
But as I sit here I see what’s right in front of me:
I’m not the one that you need.
Since we met I’ve tried everything.
I go out with other guys, but I don’t feel a thing.
Why do I feel like my heart is breaking
Even though I never got to hear it sing?
’Cause I never got the chance to show you how life could be.
I never allowed myself to set my feelings free.
But as I sit here I see what’s right in front of me:
I’m not the one that you need.
It's taken me so long to see
That we were never meant to be,
And every chance we ever missed
Would never give me the love I wished.
'Cause even though, I never got the chance to show you how life could be.
I never allowed myself to let my feelings free.
But as I sit here I see what’s right in front of me:
(Now we can finally agree)
That I’m not the one that you need.
