Anything But Me

Always thought that it was cool that you knew the words to quotes in movies

Everyone at school, you'd make 'em laugh

You'd hang out with your brother's friends, and tell us all about the weekend

How many beers you had

I had no clue who the hell I was

Forehead on the window ridin' home on the bus

I close my eyes 'cause what I wish that I could see

In that foggy reflection was

Anything but quiet, anything but different

Anything but just a kid from some nowhere little town

You were going places, you had your shit together

I was just a lost soul wishin' I was found

I wanted to be like you, God knows that I tried to

Hell, some days I would've fuckin' died to

Yeah, I'da given anything to be

Anything but me

While you were out at the party raisin' hell and gettin' high

I was always somewhere lost in my guitar

I'd crank it up to ten and play the same three chords again

Never thinkin' it would get me very far

Top of my lungs, bangin' on the strings

Damn, I tried so hard to be

Anything but quiet, anything but different

Anything but just a kid from some nowhere little town

You were going places, you had your shit together

I was just a lost soul wishin' I was found

I wanted to be like you, God knows that I tried to

Hell, some days I walked right out of high school

Yeah, I'da given anything to be

Anything but me

Anything but me

Always chasin' somethin' that I never had

But you were always there, you always had my back

'Cause that's what friends are for, took years for me to see

That I was always fightin', but you never wanted me to be

Anything but quiet, anything but different

Anything but just a kid from some nowhere little town

You said I was going places, I had my shit together

Thought I was goin' nowhere, but look where I am now

I wanted to be like you, God knows that I tried to

Do you know what you did for me? 'Cause I do
