Who I'll Never Be

She locked herself in that roomwith a full view of a full moonand this where she comes to flywhen she wanna disappear from what's outside.

I try not to make it obviousshe doesn't know there's an audience.

These walls are ripped and thin

So it ain't my fault that

I'm listenin'.

And I can make out every word

Cause she sing loud like a trapped birdshe looks out at the starswhen she writes songs on that guitar.

And every song you write without me,just another sad song to me.

And every song you write without me,sound like who

I'll never be.

She picked up her instrumentand

I don't know where

I went.I just close my eyes and floatlike

I'm in there with her tryin' to hold allthe notes she hits, motionless,a secret solo show she gives.

Sometimes she'll search for a lineand

I wish I could give her one of mine.

But it would all unravelif she found out

I was in the shadows.

So I suppress what

I obsess,but your biggest fan wanna sing a duet.

Because every song you write without me,just another sad song to me.

And every song you write without me,sound like who

I'll never be.

Familiar with the voice of the lonely,lost in the noise of the wind blowing,

Go ahead, girl, tell your story,but the siren don't wail for holy.

Play your heart by strings,with the parts you sing.

Can't wait to hear what tomorrow brings.

And if you ever get to smile,

I'll be right here tryin' to reconcilemy desire to admire your sadness.

You gonna rise from the fire and ashes.

And if it's all the same to you,you oughta let me be the one to change your tune

Cause every song you write without me,just another sad song to me.

And every song you write without me,sound like who

I'll never be.
