THAT AIN’T ME
(Claire Ulanoff/Will Hopkins)


Guess I should have known, when you said “we need to talk”
That maybe things weren’t going quite the way I thought
But when you sat me down and looked me in the eye
It never crossed my mind that you might say goodbye
I don’t understand why this is something we can’t fix
All I know is it’s hitting me like a ton of bricks…that

It ain’t me who’ll share your life
Who’ll turn off the front porch light
Who’s gonna bring you roses, rub your shoulders
Warm your toes at night
We’ll never decorate the fridge with pictures of our kids
Maybe all I thought we had we never did
But if you think I’m someone who can just forget about you
That ain’t me

Guess I had this picture of the way that things would be
A little house with a picket fence on a quiet street
What about the good times and all the plans we made
Can’t imagine how we’d throw all that away
I ain’t gonna stop you, if you think you have to leave
But I’m scared to death, can’t catch my breath, I just can’t believe…that

(chorus)

So tell me what it is I’ve got to do
Help me ’cause I’m still in love with you…and

I want to share your life
Turn off our front porch light
I want to bring you roses, rub your shoulders
Warm your toes at night
I want to decorate the fridge with pictures of our kids
And love you just as long as we both shall live
‘Cause if you think I’m someone who could survive without you
That ain’t me
