Mayer, John - Not Myself Lyrics






Suppose I said
I am on my best behavior
And there are times
I lose my worried mind

Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?

Suppose I said
Colors change for no good reason
And words will go
From poetry to prose

Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?

And I, in time, will come around
I always do for you

Suppose I said
You're my saving grace?

    thank you for putting my feelings to music :( ❤

  7. T.... l....

    *"I always do, for you."*

  8. G.... G....

    I think this song is about going through a drug withdrawal and not being himself

  9. A.... R....

    My favorite song of his.

    I'm actually glad it's always flown under the radar... because it's not overplayed like his many 'hits'.

    BTW, thank you John (and your songs) for getting me through some rough times many years ago!

    *♪Suppose I said...*
    *you're my... saving grace.♪*

  10. Z.... ....

    I want Frank Ocean to make a cover of this of his version.

  11. R.... S....

    This song introduced john mayer in my life... is my favorite forever ❤

  12. P.... v....

    What are the chords?

  13. J.... 7....

    John Mayer was quoted on 3×5
    I did'nt know I could right a song that well

  14. a.... m....

    this album is probably my favorite. 2001 - 2018 and still listen to it.

    a.... m....

    Good to know i'm not the only one, especially this song!

  15. M.... ....

    Whos still listening in 2018?

    M.... ....

    I am !! I love John Mayer!! I

  16. M.... J....

    Can’t get over the walk down on the guitar at 2:04

    M.... J....

    Fantastic isn't it...

  17. H.... A....

    Have to go a long way back to find a song as well written as this. Just genius.

  18. u.... r....

    I mean.....its ok. I kinda like it.

    u.... r....

    I love how Mayer ties in hooks from other songs into songs on this same album.
    If you listen to the whole album you hear brief little diddies from different songs repeated cleverly and oh so slightly.
    Genius.

  19. M.... R....

    Suppose I said
    I am on my best behavior
    there are times
    I lose my worried mind

    Would you want me when I'm not myself?
    Wait it out while I am someone else?

    Suppose I said
    Colors change for no good reason
    words will go
    From poetry to prose

    Would you want me when I'm not myself?
    Wait it out while I am someone else?

    And I, in time, will come around, come around
    I always do for you

    Suppose I said
    You're my saving grace?

    My grace
    My self
    Not myself, my myself and I,
    When I'm someone else
    When I'm someone else
    When I'm someone else
    When I'm not myself
    Myself
    Myself

    M.... R....

    for the longest time i thought it was
    Words are one thing, when I'm not myself

  20. A.... G....

    Such a beautiful song ❤️
    But so very underrated 😔

  21. F.... A....

    Oh my god I remember I used to listen to this song when I was little but now I am listening this for my old memories ☺

  22. H.... D....

    1:57 onwards is just pure heaven

  23. J.... P....

    This song reminds me of my own life...but however beside that ..you are awesome always have been. I remember seeing you playing with Eric Clapton,Derick Trucks where i live in Florida and so many beautiful people as yourself. I loved your music from my daughter before i even knew your true talent!!! Much respect and gratitude to you John

  24. J.... P....

  25. A.... L....

    Song for a Rainy day

  26. I.... P....

  27. H.... D....

    John wrote his heart out on this album, such beauty in his expression backed with a warm acoustic feel and a hint of pop..

  28. b.... N....

    JM can do no wrong in my eyes...

  29. R.... A....

    I heard this song when I was 23 and now I'm 30.... Still hooked... Listening to the lyrics makes u go down the lane...

    R.... A....

    Heard it when I was 15, and I'm 32 and still hooked. :-)

  30. P.... C....

    This song always gives me the chills

  31. J.... A....

    where's memory?

  32. S.... T....

    Everyone saying this is sad... I think it's kind of beautiful and slow and calming but not necessarily sad. Perhaps a little melancholic, but in an accepting way

    S.... T....

    we are not always ourselves...somtimes i feel we fade away from intensity

    S.... T....

    for_reel_fishing_ jake casey not too mention " not myself" when you have had a major head injury and you feel lost even with the man you have been married to for 36 yrs!! Sorry to leave this with you don't even know you which is better

    S.... T....

    Sara Tansey shut up
    Sara

    S.... T....

    Griffin S why being so mean???

    S.... T....

  33. T.... B....

    Would you want me when I'm not myself? Wait it out while I am someone else?

  34. M.... S....

  40. J.... M....

    I had this friend who left a cd at my house with random songs and this song was track one on it and I remember at first I thought it was a stupid song, but started liking it lol. God this was like what 12 years ago or something?!? 

  41. G.... G....

    This song kinda has a radiohead feel to it

    G.... G....

    You think? I don't see it. 

    G.... G....

    Maybe very, very early days.

  42. L.... S....
