The Other Me lyrics

I know I was a crazy fool

For treating you the way I did

But something took hold of me

And I acted like a dustbin lid

I didn't give second though

To what the consequence might be

I really wouldn't be surprised

If you were trying to find another me

The other me would rather be the glad one

The other me would rather play the fool

I want to be the kind of me

That doesn't let you down as a rule

I know it doesn't take a lot

To have a little self-control

But every time that I forgot

Well I landed in another hole

But every time you pull me out

I find it harder not to see

That we can build a better life

If I can try to find the other me

The other me would rather be the glad one

The other me would rather play the fool

I want to be the kind of me

That doesn't let you down as a rule

But if I ever hurt you

Well you know that it's not real

It's no easy living by yourself

So imagine how I feel

I wish that I could take it back

I'd like to make a different mood

And if you let me try again

I'll have a better attitude

Well I know that one and one make two

And that's what I want us to be

I really would appreciate it

If you'd help me find the other me

The other me would rather be the glad one

The other me would rather play the fool

I want to be the kind of me

That doesn't let you down as a rule
