He’ll Never Be You

I hold someone else 'til it's them that I miss

I dance all night to forget you exist

Time moves slow

Our old love, I try to outgrow

Deep down I know that I don't wanna let you go

Everybody said "another lover will do"

I can't help but compare them to you

It's more than I can take

He can't tell that my smiles are fake

It feels like a curse, 'cause you're a habit I can't break

He'll never be you

Long nights, those eyes, oh

He'll never be you

My pride, your lies

I tried my best to be enough

Showed you what it meant to be in love

And now I know what I've gotta do

I've gotta get over you

Told myself I was fine, I was breaking for so long

Tear-stained poetry, broken-string songs

You're a dream gone bad

It's so hard to say when you treated me like that

What I've got is good, but it's not what I had

He'll never be you

Your grace, my faith, oh

He'll never be you

Mistakes, heartbreak

I tried my best to be enough

Showed you what it meant to be in love

And now I know what I've gotta do

I've gotta get over

His smile's golden baby

It shines brighter than yours

But my heart's not open lately

Ever since you slammed that door

He'll never be you

Your eyes, goodbyes, oh

He'll never be you

But it's time that I grew

I tried my best to be enough

Showed you what it meant to be in love

And now I know what I've gotta do

Now I know what I've gotta do

I've gotta get over you

Let go of what I knew

I've gotta get over you
