Elton John & Tim Rice Not Me lyrics

I once knew all the answers
I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness
Confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found

I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly, put on show
My conquest on display

And who would have thought
(That confidence could die)
Not me, not me
(That all I took for granted was a lie)
Not me, not me

Who would have guessed
He'd throw his world away
To be with someone
(I'm afraid to say)
Not me, not me


He's is love
But he's not the only one who be changed

I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share
An empty room is merciless
Don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there

And who would have thought
A love could be so good
Not me, not me
(And show me things I never understood)
Not me, not me

Who would have guessed
He'd throw his world away
To be with someone till his dying day
Not me, not me

But not me, oh, not me
