I had this phrase not like her floating around in my head last week and had no idea why. Well, OK, the obvious reason is that’s the way I’ve always felt: All those guys I’ve had feelings for have ended up falling for a girl who is nothing like me. That’s the idea I had in mind going in to writing this one, and then what do I discover this week? That person I shouldn’t be having feelings for…well, he has feelings for someone else. His new girlfriend. Ever been my shoes, friends? xoxo
I know you said you’d fight for her
But I’m not so sure she deserves it
She doesn’t make you smile anymore
And you say you don’t know who to trust
That your world is slowly coming undone
I know I miss the way you were beforeMaybe I’m making things too damn complicated
But that’s just the way it has to be
Take my heart ’cause it desperately wants to tell you everything…To hear you talk about her
There’s no doubt she’s beautiful
I wonder if you knew how much it hurt
To see her with you
And realize I’m not like her
You say you’re happy with her, but I’m the girl you could have adored
We could have been beautiful together
Too bad I’m not like herI wake up at 3 a.m. wondering why I care so much
Knowing I should just give you up
I gave you my heart even though you didn’t know it
And now it’s not my place to say
But when has that ever stopped me anyway?
Seems I’m bound to show itWell thanks for telling me
I guess that’s it, then
A beginning without an ending…To hear you talk about her
There’s no doubt she’s beautiful
I wonder if you knew how much it hurt
To see her with you
And realize I’m not like her
You say you’re happy with her, but I’m the girl you could have adored
We could have been beautiful together
Too bad I’m not like herSo, yeah, you told me about her
I’m not exactly sure why when I’m not the one who asked
And now all I do is try to figure out why I care
Knowing I’ll never be like herTo hear you talk about her
There’s no doubt she’s beautiful
I wonder if you knew how much it hurt
To see her with you
And realize I’m not like her
You say you’re happy with her, but I’m the girl you could have adored
We could have been beautiful together
Too bad I’m not like herTo hear you talk about her
There’s no doubt she’s beautiful
I wonder if you knew how much it hurt
To see her with you
And realize I’m not like her
You say you’re happy with her, but I’m the girl you could have adored
We could have been beautiful together
Too bad I’m not like herIt took you only a minute to say it
But little did you know that it stayed with me…

it's like we're wearing the same shoes (cute shoes, mind you!).
my ex (you know, The Ex) and I broke up about a year and a half/2 years ago. He cheated. Now he's engaged to Her. She is the complete antithesis of me. 180 degrees and all that.
So, yeah. I get you 🙂

I am quite sure you are not like her – you are far more special.I don;t know many people who think like you, write like you, or have such an amazing mind and talent.
If I ever see 'her' I will put chewing gum in her hair.

that's a really hard place to be in. but if he didn't realize how amazing you are, then he didn't deserve you. i know that's so cliche, but it's true. you deserve someone who will adore you. keep holding out. i'm sure he's out there somewhere.
