You said I'm not like her
'Cause I'm impossible to find.
You said I'm not like her
'Cause I think of what is right.
You said I'm not like her
Who left you for someone new.
You said I'm not like her
'Cause I stayed right beside you.
But I thought that I'd be happy
'Cause you told those things to me.
I'm not like her you always say
That was why you never liked me.
I'm not like her who makes you smile
Like your smile could light up the town.
I'm not her who makes you feel lighter
When you're lonely and so down.
I'm not like her who gives you strength
Like she was all you ever needed.
I'm not like her who kisses your tears away
When you're hurt and deeply wounded.
I sometimes wish I was her
But that would never happen.
"You're not like her", you told me.
"I'm not liker her", I told myself.
