Nothing like you

I ain’t never been able to find someone like you,

Tried in the dive bars, backseats, and a motel room or two.

Every crooked smile just falls short of yours,

And I keep slammin’ shots tryin’ to even the score.

But it don’t work, it never does,

You’re burned in my blood like a poison I love.

’Cause no one talks the way you talked to me,

Sweet little lies drippin’ whiskey and heat.

No one laughs the way you laughed at my pain,

I’m addicted to the memory and I can’t get clean.

Yeah, I’m screwed, it’s the truth —

There’s nothin’ like you.

The way you smelled, like smoke and perfume,

Still lingers in my truck, still haunts every room.

That funny face you made just to mess with my head,

Now I see it in the mirror when I’m drinkin’ instead.

And I don’t care if it’s killin’ me,

I’ll chase that ghost ’til it buries me deep.

’Cause no one smiles the way you smiled that night,

Half angel, half devil, all wrong, all right.

No one moves the way you moved in the dark,

You lit me up and you branded my heart.

Yeah, I’m wrecked, but it’s true —

There’s nothin’ like you.

I tried whiskey, I tried women, I tried movin’ towns,

But your voice in my head just won’t turn down.

Every girl I meet, yeah, I put ’em through hell,

’Cause they’ll never be you, and I know damn well.

So I’ll keep drinkin’ ‘til the bottle runs dry,

Keep cursin’ your name, keep askin’ why…

But every road I take just leads me back to you.

No one talks the way you talked to me,

Soft little words that still cut me deep.

No one laughs the way you laughed at my pain,

And I’d do it all again just to feel that flame.

Yeah, I’m gone, but it’s true —

There’s nothin’ like you.

And there never will be…

Nothin’ like you.
