Suddenly I realize
That I’m the Other One
I’m the small distraction that
Was only just for fun.
And all the songs you sing
Were for another bird.
A chorus in the forest,
I thought that I had heard.
And I’m sorry,
For thinking it was me.
How silly, looking back,
That that’s what I would see.
Knowing now, I’m not the one
You think of late at night,
I wonder if it’d be okay,
If it would be alright.
If things don’t go the way you planned,
Or something in you shifts,
I hope your mind will think of me,
and not the chance we missed.
That I’m the Other One
I’m the small distraction that
Was only just for fun.
And all the songs you sing
Were for another bird.
A chorus in the forest,
I thought that I had heard.
And I’m sorry,
For thinking it was me.
How silly, looking back,
That that’s what I would see.
Knowing now, I’m not the one
You think of late at night,
I wonder if it’d be okay,
If it would be alright.
If things don’t go the way you planned,
Or something in you shifts,
I hope your mind will think of me,
and not the chance we missed.
