If I Wasn't Me?

I don't know why,
Why I even try
The hours turn to days,
They just keep on rolling by
Now it doesn't really look like
it's ever gonna change at all

You're so kind,
But at times you seem so cruel
Maybe I was blind,
You're an exception to the rule
Tell me why I waste my time
by the phone
waiting for your call

And I know that
I'm not any better
When I see her
I've got to get her
I couldn't blame her
if I thought she knew
About all the bad things that I do

Would I wanna be around me if I wasn't me?

All I want is to
have a laugh or two
Tell me why,
Why it shouldn't be with you
Well I guess that there are
times when it's
not a joke after all

So maybe I was wrong,
I didn't care about being right
We only live so long,
Why not embrace each day and night
Well at least that's what I thought
and it's possible that I still do

And I know that I'm not any better
When I see her I've got to get her
I couldn't blame her if I thought she knew
About all the bad things that I do

Would I wanna be around me
if I wasn't me?

Well maybe it's my,
my own double standard
I look for the best
but I act like the worst
I know I'm not the first
I'm not the only
one who acts like this

I don't know why,
Why you would even try
Can't you see, That you're
just not right for me
But maybe there's a chance
that it's gonna change after all

And I know that I'm not any better
When I see her I've got to get her
I couldn't blame her
if I thought she knew
About all the bad things that I do

Would I wanna be around me
if I wasn't me?
