I Am Not, I Was Never


I've always wondered
If I'd ever find my heart blown away
You left me haunted and if doubt was a place
That's where I was going

I've done right
God knows I've been there
I've read the book
And I've seen the movie
I've bought the lot now I'm throwing it away

'Cause I'm not
I was never
And I won't ever be
Somebody else's, I'm not
I was never
And I won't ever be
Anyone else's love
No, no, no, no, no

I've had my chances
Oh, I've been like a child in a room full of toys
I've done all the dances
Where you sigh, then you cry, then you lie to the boys

Now I know that they were all chancers
I've read every book
And I know what romance is
Been to the war, now I'm back at your door

'Cause I'm not
I was never
And I won't ever be
Somebody else's, I'm not
I was never
And I will never be anyone else's love

I kept thinking of you
I've been wasting my time
Chasing rainbows without a clue
The search is over now, I'm back in your arms

Now I know that they were all chancers
I'm ready to go and I know what romance is
I've been to the war now I'm back at your door

I am not
I was never, never, never and I won't ever be
Somebody else's
Oh, I'm not
Baby, I was never and I don't wanna be
Anybody else's love

I'm not
I was never and I will never be
Anyone else's love

Anyone else's love
Nobody else's love
