Anyone 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 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
