She’s Not You

I tell her each day I love her

And I kiss her lips every night

I hope that she never finds out

But I know that one day she might

Every time that I look at her

All that I see is your face

Every time that she’s in my arms

I just wish it was your embrace

Even after the sun has set

Every night when I go to bed

As I listen to her breathing

I wish that you were here instead

Why do I feel so lonely

Even though I’m not alone

Why do I feel so strange

When I’m sitting in my home

Why do I never listen

To anything that she says

Why do I feel nothing for her

In my heart or in my head

Why do I have no interest

In things she wants to do

I’m sure I know the answer

It’s because she’s not you

We see each other in secret

In our special little spot

It always leaves me wanting more

But for now it’s all that we’ve got

It’s getting harder to live this lie

Though everything seems like it’s fine

I spend time watching the clock

And just wishing that you were mine

Why do I feel so lonely

Even though I’m not alone

Why do I feel so strange

When I’m sitting in my home

Why do I never listen

To anything that she says

Why do I feel nothing for her

In my heart or in my head

Why do I have no interest

In things she wants to do

I’m sure I know the answer

It’s because she’s not you

It’s so hard to be with someone

When you’re in love with someone else

You want everyone to know

But have to keep it to yourself

It makes it hard to keep playing

With the cards that you were dealt

When every time that I see you

It just makes my yearning heart melt

Why do I feel so lonely

Even though I’m not alone

Why do I feel so strange

When I’m sitting in my home

Why do I never listen

To anything that she says

Why do I feel nothing for her

In my heart or in my head

Why do I have no interest

In things she wants to do

I’m sure I know the answer

It’s because she’s not you…

No matter what I try

And no matter what I do…

She’s not you
