Never Wanted To Be That Girl - Carly Pearce

That girl will never be mine First time I saw her at the front door That girl Her face on every billboard Hands down You won't believe the way she laid her eyes on me Six feet She stood up from the catwalk So fly We got into a small talk Too bad She had to move along One smile and she was gone Can't explain I never thought that I was gonna lose my head Call me insane There's got to be a way How can I get next to her? Now, tell me how it's gonna be done Will I win or lose this one? Don't care about the fact She's in a different league They say it's no use that I try That girl will never be mine Mmm Oo oo Next thing She's livin' in my TV That girl Is stealin' every daydream Tough luck She had to be a star When I'm just the same old me Last night Ran into her briefly Guess what She really wanna see me They said I was outta line Who's wrong, who's right this time? Can't explain I never thought that I was gonna lose my head Call me insane There's got to be a way How can I get next to her? Now, tell me how it's gonna be done Will I win or lose this one? Don't care about the fact She's in a different league They say it's no use that I try That girl will never be mine That girl Is freakin' me out Don't care about the fact That she's all that That girl Has thrown out the doubt But there's no way for me to stop That girl Tearin' up the big screen That girl Stealin' every daydream Tough luck She had to be the one for me She will be mine No matter what they try to say There's got to be a way How can I get next to her? Now, tell me how it's gonna be done Will I win or lose this one? Don't care about the fact She's in a different league They say it's no use that I try They say it's no use that I try That girl will never be mine

I can't help it if I make a scene Steppin' out of my hot, pink limousine I'm turning heads and I'm stopping traffic When I pose they scream and when I joke they laugh, I've got a Pair of eyes that their getting lost in Their hypnotized by my way of walking I've got them dazzled like a stage magician When I point, they look and when I talk they listen, well Everybody needs a friend And I've got you and you and you So many I can't even name them Can you blame me? I'm too famous Haven't you noticed I'm a star I'm coming into view as the world is turning Haven't you noticed I made it this far Now everyone can see me burning Now everyone can see me burning Now everyone can see me burning

Never been all that wrapped up in shiny swimming pools Those material kinda lies they tell Life looks oh so well from the outside in Honeymoons don't end No what I thought I wanted let me down And I don't want it now Keep the house, keep the truck Go downtown, get too drunk Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back Take the bed where you used to lie Keep the friends I never liked And the happy ever after welcome mat But you ain't gonna get this diamond back No never ever gettin' this diamond back You can keep the dog and the Cadillac But you ain't gonna get this diamond back Well, I guess I'll just burn that dress All those fairy tales can go straight to hell Don't need you no more with this 24 carats that I'm wearin' no I don't care if you Keep the house, keep the truck Go downtown, get too drunk Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back Take the bed where you used to lie Keep the friends I never liked And the happy ever after welcome mat But you ain't gonna get this diamond back No never ever gettin' this diamond back You can keep the dog and the Cadillac But you ain't gonna get this diamond back Oh, what I thought I wanted let me down But who's laughing now?

29, that's when you're supposed to find yourself Start drinking whiskey from a higher shelf Stop calling your mom for help 29, you start paying mortgage instead of rent Should be picking out a picket fence Instead of wondering where it went and wondering why But for me 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Now I'm never gonna live it down 29, by now I thought I'd have it figured out But I've never felt as lost as I do now And everybody says, "You're only 29" But I feel like I'm running out of time If youth is wasted on the young, have I wasted mine? 'Cause for me 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Now I'm never gonna live it down Seems like everybody else is hanging on to it But I swear to God, I've barely made my way through it Oh 29 Is the year that I got married and divorced Yeah, I held on for dear life, but I still fell off the horse From a Miss to a Mrs. then the other way around The year I was gonna live it up Hey, let's just call it what it was Now I'm never gonna live it down

Midnight, you crawl back swearing you lost track How can you say that with a straight face? Your phone is glowing, you say it's no one It's funny no one calls me this late You tell me I'm crazy, yeah, I know But I gotta see how far you're gonna go The way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-in-the eye ability Your lie ability, yeah I'll give you credit, you really sell it The way you tell it, just sounds so good The poison's in the apple, the snake is in the grass The truth about a lie is that it ain't ever made to last The way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-the-eye ability Your lie ability, yeah Oh, the way those words roll off your silver tongue Your fabricated love's become a liability And oh, it's killing me How you stand there, oh so confidently Can't believe your look-me-in-the-eye ability Your lie ability, yeah Oh, it's killing me Your lie ability, yeah

Cigarettes in the ashtray Sitting on the porch Two empty bottles of Cabernet From the night before A couple of texts I wish I hadn't sent But at the time Had a good buzz, and it felt innocent Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy Little black dress in the bathroom From last Friday night Thought I was ready, it was too soon God, I wasn't right Mascara stains on pillowcases Can't stop my mind From going back to broken places Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy Everything's gonna be fine Everybody ain't okay sometimes You're fine 'til you're falling apart Over it, back to the start It ain't on your mind 'til you're replaying every memory Moving on is messy It ain't always gonna be a clean break, and it's okay Whatever it takes these days 'Cause heartbreak isn't sexy And there ain't no wearing it well, going through hell So give yourself some grace Moving on is messy (everything's gonna be fine) Moving on is messy (everybody ain't okay sometimes) Moving on is messy (everything's gonna be fine) Oh, it's messy
