## Verse 1 I performed a version of myself for you That wasn't quite a lie but wasn't quite the truth I learned which parts of me you'd call beautiful And left the rest somewhere outside my youth I gave you the girl you seemed to want to find And somewhere in the giving lost the girl I was And the strange thing is I didn't even notice Until the music started sounding like it does When it doesn't belong to you ## Pre-Chorus And I've been singing Someone else's song Wearing someone else's voice For somewhere I don't belong And I've been living Someone else's part In a story written somewhere Far outside my heart ## Chorus Someone else's song That's what I was Someone else's version Of what love does I built my whole performance On a stage you designed And forgot that the girl underneath Was always already mine Someone else's song ## Verse 2 There's a specific kind of loneliness In being seen completely and still missed In someone knowing every part of you And loving the arrangement not the gist I don't blame you for the version that you wanted I don't blame myself for trying to be her I just know that what I'm writing now is different I just know that what you're hearing now is clearer This is actually me ## Pre-Chorus And I've been singing Someone else's song Wearing someone else's voice For somewhere I don't belong And I've been living Someone else's part In a story written somewhere Far outside my heart ## Chorus Someone else's song That's what I was Someone else's version Of what love does I built my whole performance On a stage you designed And forgot that the girl underneath Was always already mine Someone else's song ## Bridge I don't want to be angry about it I learned what I needed to learn I don't want to build a whole story Around everything I had to unlearn I just want to sing something that's mine now I just want to mean every word I just want to stand on this stage and be certain That what you're getting is what you've heard ## Final Chorus Someone else's song That's what I was Someone else's version Of what love does I built my whole performance On a stage you designed But the girl who's singing now Is finally mine Not someone else's song Not anymore Mine ## Outro Mine Just mine This is mine Someone else's song No more
