about

Life’s messy. You don’t always get what you want. What you wished for was probably never as great as you remember it to be. Romanticism
is a curse.

lyrics

You’re not him.
Oh, you’re not him.
You’re not him.
Oh, you’re not him.

I almost said his name
when I ran my fingers through your hair.
My sleepy self expected to see his hazel eyes
open softly in the morn,
but instead I’m greeted by your stare.
I’ve drawn this out too long.

I want him in your place,
holding me.
But you think I’m devoted to you.

But you’re not him.
You’re not him.
You’re not him.
Oh, you’re not him.

You dreamt of her again
as you cradled me through the night.
The details of her smile,
the creases under her eyes,
that you’ve grown to know so well.
But instead you’re learning to love mine.
I know you hate to dwell

but sometimes you wanna kiss
her one more time.
You want to know that she’s doing fine.

But I’m not her.
I’m not her.
I’m not her.
No, I’m not her.

You’re not him.
I’m not her.
But at least we have each other.
I know it might be foolish,
but let’s pretend we were
meant to be.
