If I'm Not The One Lyrics

If I'm not the one you want
Take your time to figure out
Hey yeah
I'm staring at your picture every night
The scent of you still lingers in my mind
I wonder if you're lonely, feel alright
And the sun has come out of the clouds
And sometimes when I listen to our song
The night seems so cold and far too long
I wanna call you up cause in the end
I keep writing letters to my garbage can
Lately, feels like I'm going crazy
And baby, come and lay down beside me
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need
I feel like it's on you I can depend
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Enough of building castles in the sand
Why can't we be forever
Lately, feels like I'm going crazy
And baby, come and lay down beside me
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need)
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need
Somehow, in the back of my mind (back of my mind)
I know that you will be mine (you will be mine)
Somehow, wish I could rewind (I could rewind)
And leave all the worries behind
If I'm not the one you want
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need)
Take your time to figure out
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need)
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need)
I'll be the one you need

God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You

If I'm not the one you want
Take your time to figure out 
Hey yeah 
I'm staring at your picture every night
The scent of you still lingers in my mind
I wonder if you're lonely, feel alright
And the sun has come out of the clouds 
And sometimes when I listen to our song
The night seems so cold and far too long
I wanna call you up cause in the end
I keep writing letters to my garbage can 
Lately, feels like I'm going crazy
And baby, come and lay down beside me 
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need 
I feel like it's on you I can depend
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Enough of building castles in the sand
Why can't we be forever 
Lately, feels like I'm going crazy
And baby, come and lay down beside me 
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need) 
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need 
Somehow, in the back of my mind (back of my mind)
I know that you will be mine (you will be mine)
Somehow, wish I could rewind (I could rewind)
And leave all the worries behind 
If I'm not the one you want
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need)
Take your time to figure out
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need) 
If I'm not the one you want, then who'll see
Take your time to figure out, and you'll see
If I'm not the one you want, then maybe
I'll be the one you need (I'll be the one you need) 
I'll be the one you need

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Aren't the lyrics "then who's he?" not "then who'll see?" meaning, like... what are you interested in so I can be that?
