She's Not Me
Zara Larsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She doesn't have my name
However she tries to act like it
She'll never be the same
But she's new and she's beautiful
You've never been in a fight
Yeah it's awfully perfect now
She's not me
She's not me
She's not me
Baby
She's not me
Does she make you feel wanted like I did
Make you feel like you're the one thing that matters
You let her head rest on your chest
But when you close your eyes
You'll be seeing my face again
I'll be crossing your mind
You'll be dreaming of places we went
And then you'll wake up to find
That she's not me
She's not me
She's not me
Remember
That she's not me, eh
Mmh, ooh, yeah
She's not me
She's not me
Said I wonder now
Yeah I wonder how you've been
Are you happy?
Is she still the one?
Are you having fun?
Is it for real?
Baby
'Cause I'll be waiting here
Another week, or month or year
If you're lonely
God I wish I knew everything
About the two of you
Won't you tell me
Does she have any humor?
Does she laugh at your jokes?
Can she look past the rumors?
Does she know how it goes?
Eh, or is it none of my business?
Do you go to the movies?
Do you make out in the park?
Do you stay up for hours?
And just talk and talk?
Eh, or is it none of my business?
Does she know bout the bracelets?
There were two of a kind
Did you save did you save it?
Like I did mine
Eh, or is it none of my business?
Would it make any difference
If I got you alone?
If I called would you listen?
Would you hang up the phone?
Eh, or is it none of my business? (oh, ah, oh, ah, eh)
None of my business (oh, ah, oh, ah, eh)
Is it none of my business? (oh, ah, oh, ah, eh)
None of my business (oh, ah, oh, ah, eh)
Is it none of my business? (oh, ah, oh, ah, eh)
She's not me and she'll never be, never be, never be
She's not me and she'll never be, never be, never be
She's not me and she'll never be, never be, never be
She's not me and she'll never be, never be, never be

You're beautiful in your own ways.
Just because a fish cannot climb a tree doesn't mean it's useless just means it's designed to swim better than climb.
You can be that fast swimming fish.
And qhat the world needs is for you to he that fish instead of pretending to be something that can climb when you are destined for the greatness that the ocean can give you.
This means that if your sister seems successful in her ways, that doesn't mean you're unsuccessful. just because you don't match her for each of her achievements doesn't mean that you won't have your own that you'll be just as good at id not better.
Find your gifts, we ALL have them. They're in our passions. What makes your heart FEEL the most? That is your gift.
You've got this inside you. We all do.
Those of us who don't fit in were born to stand out so we could make the world better.
👋 take my hand and let us be the change the world needs and the best fish we can be!🌊 🐟🐠🐡🌊💟💖💟

This song reminds me of me and my sister. Everyone says that I should try harder to be like her and everyone expects better of me. But the fact still remains, unnoticed, She's not me.
