𝐈'𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 
I𝐟 I could be anyone,
Even just for a day,

𝐈'𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫. 

The one behind your far away gaze.

The one that keeps you from me for days.

𝐈'𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

 As in she...

Call her Jolene,

Call her intervene,

Call her the wedge that is in between-

Her.

Call this a losing game, 
A hollow point of view. 

To be the one
To which you run

It's she, that's who.

The one of whom you think I'm unaware-

The one of whom that I cannot compare.

The she.
The she that is not me.
...I'd be her
