they’ll never be you

Oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
La-da-da-da-da
Ay-ee-ay-ee-ay
Mmm.

[verse 1]
Im lying in bed.
The other side isn’t cold.
Not anymore at least.
Theres a new story being told.
Oh.
I started over again.
This one isn’t mean.
Not like how you were.
Everything feels so clean.

Woah-oh-oh-oh
It’s all a little too clean for me. 

[chorus]
I tried to move on,
Tried to give myself away,
But I was only sparing parts,
Saying what they’d expect me to say.
Oh.
They don’t tear me down,
They don’t yell at me,
They don’t make me jealous,
’Cause they’re not messy.
No, they’re not messsy-ee!!
Oh!
But no matter how hard I try,
No matter how much I lie,
No matter what I do,
They’ll never be—
They’ll never be you.

Oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
La-da-da-da-da
Ay-ee-ay-ee-ay
Mmm.

[verse 2]
Feel like I’m in a cycle.
Im steady tryna stifle,
All these things unsaid,
Old habits i once fed,
Feelings that should be dead,
For a love that was like a fraying thread.
Called ourselves distressed. 
Oh,
Why the hell was I obsessed? 
Woah,
Now Im lying here,
Wrapped in someone’s arms,
Thinking of you,
And the love I once knew. 
Woah-oh-oh-oh.
I hate you, cause-

[chorus]
I tried to move on,
Tried to give myself away,
But I was only sparing parts,
Saying what they’d expect me to say.
Oh.
They don’t tear me down,
They don’t yell at me,
They don’t make me jealous,
’Cause they’re not messy.
No, they’re not messsy-ee!!
Oh!
But no matter how hard I try,
No matter how much I lie,
No matter what I do,
They’ll never be—
They’ll never be you.

[Bridge]
I just want something real.
Don’t want it pretty and neat
I want a passion without guard.
Even if I get burned in the heat.
You left me bruised,
You left me beat,
You drove me mad,
 You were toxic on repeat.
And still I don’t want anyone else.
No,
I don’t know how to love anybody else!

[chorus (final)]
I tried to move on,
Tried to give myself away,
But I was only sparing parts,
Saying what they’d expect me to say.
Oh.
They don’t tear me down,
They don’t yell at me,
They don’t make me jealous,
’Cause they’re not messy.
No, they’re not messsy-ee!!
Oh!
But no matter how hard I try,
No matter how much I lie,
No matter what I do,
They’ll never be—
They’ll never be you.

[outro]
Oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh
La-da-da-da-da
Ay-ee-ay-ee-ay
Mmm.

They’ll never be—
They’ll never be….
You.
