The Girl That Wasn't There

I've imagined kissing a boy that wasn't mine;

Loved someone I had to tell goodbye.

Tried to hold onto something that wasn't there.

I believed something that wasn't true;

Thought he could be mine,

But he belongs with you.

I'll step aside to let you through;

Even in love and war,

Some things aren't fair.

I'm the girl that wasn't there.

I fell for a boy who wasn't even around;

I set my hopes on shaky ground.

Can you forgive me for how much I cared?

I didn't know that he'd fallen in love;

I didn't know you'd be the one.

Never meant to want him so much;

Never meant to come undone.

I guess we don't choose who we love.

When he asked you out, I was unaware;

I'm the girl that wasn't there.
