Instead - Ryan Amador

Written by：Ryan Amador

Go be yourself on your way

And don't ever look back

To check if I'm okay

And don't ever be sad

That you chose him instead

'Cause I don't want regrets

And I'd rather be rid of it

And when you want someone who'll care

Who will know how you feel

When you don't wanna share

Who will show you support

When you've lost your meaning

Just remember this time

When you chose not to be with me

And I tried to defend

How I thought we would play out

I came and confessed

That I love you more than he does

So choose me instead

Oh choose me instead 'cause

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be

Even half as good as he should be

And I watch you choose him instead of me

Watch you choose him instead of me

Go be in love I don't care

But don't ever pretend

That we're both unaware cause

The truth is that you still permit me to be

Close enough that I know

That you don't want me to leave

And then I remember he's there

And he's been there for years

At your side like a stain

And when I see you with him

In your eyes there's a pain

And it's trapped you inside

Like you can't get away

And I tried to defend

How I thought we would play out

I came and confessed

That I love you more than he does

So choose me instead

Oh choose me instead cause

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be

Even half as good as he should be

And I watch you choose him instead of me

Watch you choose him instead of me

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

I tried to defend

How I thought we would play out

I came and confessed

That I love you more than he does

So choose me instead

Oh choose me instead

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough for you

He won't do the things that I would do

He's not good enough for you

He's not good enough to be

Even half the man that he should be

And I watch you choose him instead of me

Watch you choose him instead of me
