​i wish i were him

[Verse 1]
I saw you with your new man
In the land we used to possess
A sorrowful scene that I did not anticipate
This time your smile looked different
Oh, so brighter, spreading joyfulness
Guess he’s not a secret, I saw you two holding hands

[Pre-Chorus 1]
That’s such a different story
It's long past my time of glory

[Chorus 1]
There on a corner, saw you laughing with him
You didn’t see me, so I ran out of there
Looking for answers, screaming, cursing your name
On my way home, wishing it’d be me instead

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I wish I were him
Oh, I wish I were him

[Verse 2]
I saw you with your new man
And his brilliance bеyond compare
My glimmers of hope diеd there, straight into my tear ducts
He’s got that craving chiseled face
Eye-catching body, he’s top-shelf
Not like me, fighting the need to starve myself
(With no comfort in my own skin)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All the things we didn’t get done
Gotta face it, those times are really gone

[Chorus 2]
I’m in my bedroom, with our songs on replay
Can’t help but picture you singing them to him
And in the dark, his body’s meeting your hands
I feel the misery, while you make love with him

[Bridge]
Now I’m only dreaming of the ‘what could have been’
(¿Qué pudo ser?)
In some different script where you just stay at the end
(No existe)
I told you not to, but please can you explain
(Ven, dime)
What did he give you that was out of my hands?
(Oh)

[Outro]
Oh, I wish I were him
(Now I’m only dreaming of the-)
Oh, I wish I were him
(What did he give you that was-)
Oh, I wish I were him
(Now I’m only dreaming of the-)
But I’ll never be him
