[Verse 1]
I'm not the one that's gonna change your mind
I'm not the one to make you stay
But you can find me in the cool blue night
You can kiss me in the morning gray

[Chorus]
'Cause it's not me that you long for in the middle of the night
It's not me that you cry for when I hold you tight
It's not me that you see behind the lids of your eyes
It's not me
But it could be for a little while


[Verse 2]
I'm not the one to understand your tears
But I'll be your shoulder for to lean
Although it feels like I've known you for years
I'm not the one that you need

[Chorus]
It's not me that you long for in the middle of the night
It's not me that you cry for when I hold you tight
It's not me that you see behind the lids of your eyes
It's not me
But it could be for a little while

[Steel guitar]

[Bridge]
And you don't have to be alone
Yeah, just because I'm lonely
And you don't have to be alone
I'm not your one and only
And you don't have to be alone
Just because I'm lonely
And you don't have to be alone
Yeah

[Outro]
It's not me
Baby, it's not me
But it could be for a little while
