可惜不是你还好不是你
[kĕ xī bù shì nĭ hái hăo bù shì nĭ]
A phrase from a famous Chinese song. It expresses both disappointment ('可惜不是你' - Pity it's not you) and relief ('还好不是你' - Fortunately it’s not you). This indicates complex feelings about someone who was considered significant but didn't work out as hoped.
