Not Me (Aida)

Radames: I once knew all the answers
I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness
Confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found

Mereb: Oh no

Radames: I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly
Put on show
My conquests on display (Mereb: I can't believe he's changing)

And who'd have thought that (Mereb: Oh no)
Confidence could die?
Not me, not me (Mereb: Not me, not me)
That all I took for granted was a lie?
Not me, not me
And who'd have guessed
I'd throw my world away
To be with someone I'm afraid will say (Mereb: This can never)
Not me, not me (Mereb: Be)

Mereb: He's in love
But he's not the only one
Who'll be changed

Aida: I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share

Amneris: An empty room is merciless
Don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there

Aida and Amneris: And who'd have thought
That love could be so good?
Not me, not me
And show me things I never understood
Not me, not me

Who'd have guessed he'd throw his world away
To be with someone till his dying day
Not me, not me

Radames, Amneris, Aida: And who'd have thought
That love could be so good?
Not me, not me (Mereb: Not me, not me)
My/his secrets and my/his passions understood
Not me, not me (Mereb: Not me, not me)

Who'd have guessed I'd/he'd throw my/his world away
To be with someone till my/his dying day
Not me, not me (Mereb: This can never be)
