I'm not in your wildest dreams
I'm not the one you wish for
I'm not the girl you watch
as she walks by
It's fine, really
I'll find someone someday
I'm not the one you love
I'm not present in your thoughts
I'm not the girl who brings a
sparkle to your eyes
But I don't mind, truly
I don't need to wait for you
I'm not in your fantasies
I'm not the one your praise
I'm not the girl who holds
your heart forever
But I don't wanna be
I promise
Even as a tear slips
down my cheek
