Lyrics Ryan Amador – Instead
Text:
Go, be yourself
On your way
And don’t ever look back to check if I’m okay
And don’t ever be sad that you chose him instead
And I’d rather be rid of it
And when you want someone who’ll care
Who will know how you feel when you don’t wanna share
Who will show you support when you’ve lost your meaning
Just remember this time when you chose not to be with me
And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out
I came and confessed that I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh, choose me instead cuz
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He won’t do the things that I would do
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough to be
Even half as good as he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me
Go, be in love
I don’t care
But don’t ever pretend that we’re both unaware
Cuz the truth is that you still permit me to be
close enough that I know that you don’t want me to leave
And then I’d remember he’s there and he’s been there for years
At your side like a stain when I see you with him
In your eyes there’s a pain and it’s trapped you inside
And I tried to defend how I thought we would play out
I came and confessed that I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh, choose me instead cuz
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He won’t do the things that I would do
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough to be even half as good as he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
I tried to defend how I thought we would play out
I came and confessed that I love you more than he does
So choose me instead
Oh, choose me instead
He’s not good enough for you
He won’t do the things that I would do
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough for you
He won’t do the things that I would do
He’s not good enough for you
He’s not good enough to be even half the man that he should be
And I watch you choose him instead of me
Watch you choose him instead of me
