I wanna be her

Verse 1

Why do I even think of you at all?

I thought I’d be strong, thought I’d never fall.

But these feelings cut deeper than I planned,

pulling me down with a force I can’t withstand.

I always knew I was only your affair,

nothing important, no promise, no care.

No priority, just shadows in your light,

and she was by your side – she never left your sight.

She – naturally beautiful, elegant and sweet,

her charm in her smile, her grace in her feet.

And when I saw you two together, hand in hand,

I asked myself softly: “What does she have that I can’t?”

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I shouldn’t think like this, I was just your game,

a spark of desire, a moment without name.

But each time I saw you looking deep into her eyes,

my heart caught fire, burning with silent cries.

⸻

Hook

I wanted her place, her closeness, her role,

wanted to be the one sleeping next to your soul.

When her hand touched you, I wanted to tear it away,

but who am I to want that? I had no right to stay.

Your laughter together, your warm shining glance,

stabbed through my chest like a merciless lance.

And when you were with me, I forgot her for a while,

as if the world had vanished in your stolen smile.

⸻

Verse 2

For a moment in time, you belonged just to me,

a forbidden fragment of what could never be.

I held onto you like my last piece of night,

though I knew when you’d leave, she’d reclaim her right.

She didn’t exist when you lay in my arms,

reality melted, undone by your charms.

But once you walked out, it was painfully clear:

I’d give you back again – she was the one truly near.

I have no right to tears, no right to claim,

I was just the spark, not the steady flame.

Still, it cut me deep every time I saw

her having the things I longed for with awe.

⸻

Bridge (dark whisper)

I wished your laughter could also be mine,

a stolen moment frozen in time.

But truth cuts deep, and it always occurs—

when I saw you with her… I wanna be her.

I wanna be her shadow in your light,

the name you whisper softly at night.

I wanna be the one you choose, prefer—

the one you hold close… I wanna be her.

⸻

Final Hook

I wanted her place, her closeness, her role,

wanted to be the one sleeping next to your soul.

When her hand touched you, I wanted to tear it away,

but who am I to want that? I had no right to stay.

Your laughter together, your warm shining glance,

stabbed through my chest like a merciless lance.

And when you were with me, I forgot her for a while,

but in the end you were hers – and I stayed just a shadow in exile.
