Anyone But Me

Lyrics

[Refrain: blackbear] Even though it was long ago I'm still caught up in the undertow And the waves come crashing over me 'Cause I'm caught up in who I couldn't be [Chorus: blackbear] 'Cause what you want And what you need Is a man that I could never be And what you want And what you need Is anyone, anyone but me [Verse 1: Mike Posner] Couple years older than me Met you at Duke You were out of my league I was dating Caroline At the time I met you She done got a song Now she doesn't get two, no Years disappear, years blow by You fell in love with me I don't know why But every time I'm in the city on tour I pretend I'm your man And for those hours, I'm yours (Woo) [Pre-Chorus: Mike Posner] But you deserve better, we both know it (Ah) I fucking love you, I never showed it Gone as soon as I came Get a real guy, baby, anybody but me [Chorus: blackbear] 'Cause what you want And what you need Is a man that I could never be And what you want And what you need Is anyone, anyone but me [Verse 2: Mike Posner] Remember you were out of my league? I've been hitting homers, baby Now I'm big leagues (Yep) I swear, I'ma wife you up one day, but for now I just text you when I'm on the runway, sorry Say, "I'm in town", you say, "For how long?" (Ah) Say, "I don't know," some more small talk I go to work for a while in the studio (Ah) When I'm done, I'm gon' hit it like a groupie hoe (Woo) [Pre-Chorus: Mike Posner] But you're not though, and we both know it I fucking love you, I never show it (Ah) Gone as soon as I came Get a real guy, baby, anybody but me [Refrain: blackbear] Even though it was long ago I'm still caught up in the undertow And the waves come crashing over me 'Cause I'm caught up in who I couldn't be [Chorus: blackbear] 'Cause what you want And what you need Is a man that I could never be And what you want And what you need Is anyone, anyone but me [Verse 3: blackbear] Yeah, a couple years ago we had it all It seems like almost every single day I wanna pick up and call Way back in the day, before I learned to stand tall I had to get my knees scraped before I learned to never fall 'Cause you deserve better, trust me I'd know Sometimes I hate you, sometimes I hope it shows And you deserve anybody but me 'Cause what you want and what you need Are two completely different things [Outro: blackbear] 'Cause what you want And what you need And what you want And what you need Is anyone, anyone but me
