Lyrics by Tim Rice
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 I'd throw my world away
To be with someone (i'm afraid will say)
Not me,(this can never be)
not me
(He's is love but he's not the only one who'll 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'd've 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
And who'd've thought a love could be so good
Not me, not me
my secrets and my passions understood
not me not me
and who'd've guessed he'd through his world away
to be with someone til his dyin day not me
not me, oh not me
