Just the other day
I was your all
Your one and only
Now I see
The truth that lied beneath
It was cover
A disguise
A facade
The man I loved
Was never really mine
Stuck in a world of denial
You yearn for her
Her superficial touch
You worship her
A goddess but only your eyes
I was her replacement
I'm not a proxy
And I don't wanna be the next Roxy
Had me confused and dazed
Blamed myself for every mistake you made
I believed your lies
Because I thought I had the prize
Every touch
Every kiss
Every hug
You closed your eyes and wished I was her
But you never figured out that I was better than her
See you made me look a fool but you are a fool
I treated you better
Loved you better
But I still wasn't her
I will not compete with a dream
Aint got to stand and watch you love what was
Cause baby guess what ?
I am what is !
I'm for now and forever
Compare and contrast
Your obsession with her
And your fixation that I could be her
I don't want to be a duplicate , a copy
I don't want to look in the mirror and see her
I don't want to be a backup or temporary lover
But most importantly I don't want to be her
