[Intro]

Oh-oh

Baby, love

[Verse 1]

I don't love you like you think I do

It's not because I found somebody new

It's not because of anything you did

It's because of what I've failed to do

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't live with this guilt

I won't put you through hell

No more than I've already caused you

Hurts to say I blame myself

I know you're holding on

God must've built me wrong

I hate who I was in the dark

But now the lights are coming on

[Chorus]

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake

I'm only lying to myself if I stay

I'll cherish everything we have to this day

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake

Wish I could be somebody else

Wish I could be somebody else

I'm only lying to myself if I stay

I swear I'd be somebody else for your sake

[Verse 2]

I don't love you like you think I do

I'm just in love with all that we've been through

You're always bringing out the best in me

And I don't wanna lose a friend in you, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't live with this guilt

I won't put you through hell

No more than I've already caused you

Hurts to say I blame myself

I know you're holding on

God must've built me wrong

I hate who I was in the dark

But now the lights are coming on

[Chorus]

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake

I'm only lying to myself if I stay

I'll cherish everything we have to this day

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake

Wish I could be somebody else

Wish I could be somebody else

I'm only lying to myself if I stay

I swear I'd be somebody else for your sake

[Bridge]

It's taken all I have in me

To tell you to your face

That all I have in me

Is nothing you can change

I never had a choice

And that's more than you can take

But I swear that if I did

You know what I would say

[Chorus]

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake

I'd just be lying to myself if I stayed

I'll cherish everything we have to this day

I swear I'd be somebody else

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake

I'm only lying to myself if I stay

I'll cherish everything we have to this day

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake

Wish I could be somebody else

Wish I could be somebody else

I'm only lying to myself if I stay

I swear I'd be somebody else for your sake

[Outro]

I'm only lying to myself if I stay

I'll never be somebody else for your sake
