Won't Be Me

words and music by John Eddie

somebody's gonna sleep beside you
still believe you when they know they've been lied to
somebody's gonna count their blessings
to be the prize among your possessions
somebody's gonna fall apart
when you crawl inside their head and heart


but it won't be me
no it won't be me
it just won't be me painting my world blue
fine someone new


somebody's gonna close their eyes to
the truth about you that i grew wise to
somebody's gonna see perfection
when they take a look in your direction
somebody's gonna be confused
they're gonna feel adored
when they've been abused


but it won't be me
no it won't be me
it just won't be me painting my world blue
fine someone new


fine someone
you can be cruel to
i'd be a foll to volunteer
i learned in your school
i've been there, done that
now i'm outta here


somebody's gonna walk away from
the tangled wreckage
of the damage you've done
somebody's gonna take a long drive
with the courage they've been hiding inside
somebody's gonna be just fine
and i'm pleased to say
the pleasure's mine


cause it won't be me
it won't be me
it just won't be me painting my world blue
but it might be you
