Not Quite Like You

It's a funny trick how the world works
People just screaming to be seen
But they're not quite like you 
If you know what I mean

You are the best thing I'm dying to happen to me
You are everything I am 
You're also what I wish I could be
But you don't see what I see

You look the mirror 
You think you have problems
Seeing the worst never did anyone good
You're seeing a lie
Because I know just who you are
It's like you have the character of someone I wrote

I don't think you know 
But let me heal your heart
I know just where
Just where
To start
You're just so good 
I wish you could see it
Couldn't make up a better guy if I tried

You are the best thing I'm dying to happen to me
You are everything I am 
You're also what I wish I could be
But you don't see what I see

What a crazy thing
A beautiful boy can't see that
He's incredible and he's everything to me
Puts himself down while everyone else struts around

It's a funny trick how the world works
People just screaming to be seen
But they're not quite like you 
If you know what I mean

No, they're not quite like you
Not quite like you
If you know what I mean
