You said you didn't know
If I should stay or go
That it wouldn't matter soon
At the time I didn't believe
That you would ever leave
And follow your heart
I said I didn't care
I wouldn't miss the way your hair
Curls around your ears
I stare at your photograph
All evening for a laugh
Until the sun streams in my room
I can't think about you today
But I can't make this feeling go away
Until you understand
I wish that I could be
Everything you need
So I wouldn't be the other man
The other man
You said you didn't mind
I wasn't your type
I wouldn't even remember you
But my heart
My heart is just knew
That the words you spoke weren't true
I'd never forget you
I believed all your lies
Even at the time
That I said goodbye to you
I said rivers are wide and long
And if the currents aren't too strong
I would find someone soon
I can't think about you today
But I can't make this feeling go away
Until you understand
I wish that I could be
Everything you need
So I wouldn't be the other man
I shouldn't think about you today
When I was the one who let you get away
I let you leave
I wish that I could be
Everything you need
So I wouldn't be the other man
The other man
