Never Me

(album: I Belong To The Zoo - 2017)

If I told you not to go
Would you trust me and never leave
If I told you to stay with me
Would that be something that would ruin your dream

Sometimes I wish I was as selfish as everyone else
So I can keep you here all for myself

But we both know
That's not what you need
And we both know
I'm not who you need

If I asked you to come back to me
Would that be too much coming from me
If I told you I'll wait for you
Will you be burdened by the image of me

Sometimes I wish I was as selfish as everyone else
So I can keep you here all for myself

But we both know
That's what you need
And we both know
I'm not who you need

'Cause by the time you start to head home
And gather your things
I already know the name that you will instantly heed

And we both know
I'm not who you need
And we both know
That it's never me

Sometimes I wish I was as selfish as everyone else
So I can lie to you and tell you one last thing

I am the one you need
I am the one you need
