In a little while you're gonna call me

There'll be nothing I can say

In my head there's nothing cool today,

I only feel regret

Yet I'm out on a limb now,

'Cos you're so discreet

In a little while you're gonna call me

And hear me cry for a week

I won't be you, I won't be you now

La, la, la, la, la, la

I won't be you, I won't be you, now

On another day I could've been brave,

Could've faced you broad and strong

I'd stand firm and you would listen when I'd say

"Yes, I have made mistakes!",

But I made them a new doll,

And that I'm so happy now

That great future is a while away,

Today I stand all wrong

I can't be you, so I won't be you now

La, la, la, la, la, la

I won't be you, I won't be you now, now

Could've been brave, could've been strong

I can't be you, I won't be you now

La, la, la, la, la, la

I won't be you, I won't be you now

La, la, la, la, la, la

I won't be you, I won't be you now

La, la, la, la, la, la

I won't be you, I can't be you, now
