Not Me (Elton John)

Music by Elton John Lyrics by Tim Rice I once knew all the answers, I stood on certain ground A picture of true happiness, confidence so effortless No brighter could be found I never asked the questions that trouble me today I knew all there was to know, love worn lightly, put on show My conquest on display And who would have thought that (confidence could die) Not me, not me That (all i took for granted was a lie) Not me, not me Who would have guessed I'd throw my world away To be with someone (i'm afraid will say) Not me,(this can never be) not me (He's is love but he's not the only one who'll be changed) I shall not envy lovers, but long for what they share An empty room is merciless, don't be surprised if I confess I need some comfort there And who'd've thought a love could be so good Not me, not me And show me things I never understood Not me, not me Who would have guessed he'd throw his world away To be with someone till his dying day Not me, not me And who'd've thought a love could be so good Not me, not me my secrets and my passions understood not me not me and who'd've guessed he'd through his world away to be with someone til his dyin day not me not me, oh not me
