Instead - Blake McGrath

Go, be yourself, on your way And don't ever look back To check if I'm okay And don't ever be sad That you chose him instead 'Cause I don't want regrets And I'd rather be rid of it And when you want someone who'll care Who will know how you feel When you don't wanna share Who will show you support When you've lost your meaning Just remember this time When you chose not to be with me And I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead, 'cause He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half as good as he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me Go, be in love, I don't care But don't ever pretend That we're both unaware 'Cause the truth is that you still permit me to be Close enough that I know That you don't want me to leave And then I remember he's there And he's been there for years At your side like a stain And when I see you with him In your eyes there's a pain And it's trapped you inside Like you can't get away And I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead, 'cause He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half as good as he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half the man that he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me

Are you counting those things again In hope that they get you in Pretending the wind is a breeze And letting your body freeze And if you ask yourself you could stop these wayward pleas So get up off of your knees No matter what your father said or the books you read Maybe you should save yourself instead We jumped at the count of nine But you still needed more time You jumped at the count of eighteen And let out a joyful scream And said now I can see But now you're just playing dead As you pray to be led But maybe you should save yourself instead

Oh my gosh You just walked past me Dreamed you just said you loved me My heart is down on one knee How do I move on from here My heart is missing a half beat I accidentally stepped on your feet Didn't know how was I supposed to feel Someone pinch me is this real Hold me I'm falling Save me I'm drowning Baby just maybe Maybe you can love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead Can't live just being your friend I'll hold your hand 'til the end Won't you hear me say I love you Again and again and again and again Can you love me instead Can't keep up you won't stop talking All I hear is you proposing Can you be my happy ending Maybe take a chance on me Hold me I'm falling Save me I'm drowning Baby just maybe Maybe you can love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead Can't live just being your friend I'll hold your hand 'til the end Won't you hear me say I love you Again and again and again and again You walked away I couldn't remember What you said but I saw a number On a tiny piece of paper Maybe take a chance on me Hold me I'm falling Save me I'm drowning Baby just maybe Maybe you can love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead Can't live just being your friend I'll hold your hand 'til the end Won't you hear me say I love you Can you love me instead Can't get you out of my head I want you here 'til the end 'Til all these fairytales come true Can you love me instead (Can you love me, love me) Oh, love me, love me (can you love me, love me) Can't you here me say "I love you" (can you love me, love me) Again and again and again and again Can you love me instead

Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun Please shine down on me Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun Hiding behind the tree These little children are asking you To please come out, so we can play with you Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun Please shine down on me These little children are asking you To please come out, so we can play with you Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun Please shine down on, please shine down on- Please shine down on me
