I’m Not That Girl / Just Another Face
[Part I: I'm Not That Girl]
[Verse 1]
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl
[Verse 2]
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
[Bridge]
Every so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
[Verse 3]
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl
[Part II: Just Another Face]
[Verse 4]
It's just another face
It's just another voice
Just another man, unfamiliar
Nothing personal between us
Time has never seen us entwined
So there's nothing left to leave behind
[Verse 5]
It's just another line
Another empty dream
Just a lot of words without meaning
No lesson to be learning
No tables to be turning
No regret
Exactly like we never even met
[Chorus]
I never trusted
I wasn't scared
My heart's not busted
I never cared
It doesn't hurt me
It doesn't count
My best intentions did not amount
To anything at all
It was never real
I don't feel anything at all
[Verse 6]
It's just another face
Another pair of arms
A lot of useless expectations
Tomorrow never mattered
Love was never shattered
Or betrayed
A drama that was closed before it played
[Chorus]
There are no memories
There are no tears
No broken promise
No wasted years
He isn't worth it
He never was
He doesn't love me
Or else, he does
No matter either way
I'll keep a steady pace
It's just another face
