I Don't Want to Be - Gavin DeGraw

When visions blur, you nearly see me Cold and tired, you call my name When your body aches, you need my touch I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man When the Lord's been good, you don't remember When he don't make sense, you reel me in If being alone is what's intended I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man So hide me from those eyes so deep Make me deaf to her siren song Take this pain right out of my soul I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man So purge this poison right from my veins Pluck the envy from my heart Put in hand two bitter reigns I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man No, I don't want to be that man I don't want to be that man

I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind Wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a notch in your handle Another love casualty So lay back down and let's talk it over 'Cause I don't want to be a memory Don't you remember how it used to be When we were so in love We spent the nights in a two-room flat Drinking wine from a coffee cup Making love was so very easy We couldn't get enough I never dreamed there would come a time When you'd think about giving me up I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind I wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a notch in your handle Another love casualty So lay back down and let's talk it over 'Cause I don't want to be a memory I know you've had other lovers But that's all history I got to know that you'll let me be the last one To share your company I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind I wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a notch in your handle Another love casualty So lay back down and let's talk it over 'Cause I don't want to be I don't want to be a memory Just a shadow in your mind I wanna be the one you always need Not the one you left behind I don't want to be a memory

Your phone's gonna ring In the darkness of night And you'll rise from the bed Where you lay And you'll answer "Hello" And from out of the past A voice you once loved Is gonna say I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone And I had to call someone Who used to care I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone So say that you still want me And I'll be there Maybe someday, you'll lie there And look at the rain Feeling afraid and alone Feeling of hunger You just can't explain And you'll be the voice On the phone I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone And I had to call someone Who used to care I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone So say that you still want me And I'll be there I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone And I had to call someone Who used to care I don't wanna be alone tonight I don't wanna be alone

Say it by mine, Carry waves of light. Caught in time, Waitin' on the light. Then the winds, they go by Faster than fireflies. Hold my hand, Take my life. [Chorus:] Waterfall, Waterfall, Waterfall, Waterfall, you're beautiful. Live by me, Stand next to me. Your lovely, Let nobody else see. And the tide is callin' Shadows slowly fallin'. Waterfall, lovin me. [Chorus] All the terrible things I used to say, I'd like to throw them all away. Tell me your story All about the sin, I want to get to know you again. [Chorus] Beautiful, you're beautiful, beautiful...[repeated] Waterfall... You're beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...[repeated 3x]

What's up Cali'? You You don't know how lucky you are Hanging with that girl on your arm (hey, baby) But soon enough I'm taking my shot Bang Once I get 'em locked in my sight Doesn't mean I wasn't alright I'm just seeing something I like I just wanna take Someone else's holiday Sometimes the grass is greener And someone else's sugar Someone else's sugar Sweeter You Went to school and found out you're dumb Maybe you just had too much fun Fell in love then think it's the one You're like an angel Got me feeling like a devil And I wanna give you something If you promise that you won't tell I just wanna take Someone else's holiday Sometimes the grass is greener And someone else's sugar Someone else's sugar Sweeter I'ma recommend You take that body to the other end I really like you but I can't be friends Not with these hands of mine I just wanna take Someone else's holiday Sometimes the grass is greener And someone else's sugar Someone else's sugar I just wanna take Someone else's holiday Sometimes the grass is greener And someone else's sugar Someone else's sugar Sweeter

I'm a poor, I'm a rich I'm a mountain and a ditch I'm a dagger and a shield I'm impatient, I'm a yield And I wanna be free Wind in my hair Salt on my skin Sun in the air I have to feel love Holding on me I'll give you everything that you would ever need I'm the fight and the dance I am heartbreak and romance The feather and the stone I feel crowded and alone And I wanna be free Wind in my hair Salt on my skin Sun in the air I have to feel love Holding on me I'll give you everything that you would ever need Ooh, and every once in a while I wanna sit back and enjoy the view I'm feeling my senses But woman, my life has been surrounded by fences But I found some that I could see through I could see through And I wanna be free Wind in my hair Salt on my skin Sun in the air I have to feel love Holding on me I'll give you everything that you would ever need Everything that you would ever need Everything that you would ever need
