He’s Not You

if i told you now the things i know
you’d smile and say i told you so
i was so afraid of leaving and you held me till the moment that i decided to
and now i’m with him but he’s not you

like a folded over page, i’ve kept you marked
for those weaker days when i fall apart
i should be free i should be glad i let you go i should be happy but it’s no use
cuz i’m with him and he’s not you

it’s no use
i’m drunk when it comes to you
haunting my dreams, you’ve still got a hold on me

you said i’d go and meet someone
who’d be real nice but leave me numb
hate to admit you could be right, but you predicted what just happened, so here’s your proof
i’m with him, and he’s not you

he’s not you
but there’s no one you’d compare to
leave me in peace, you’re best when you’re out of reach

you’re still in my heart, you’re still in my head
i’m thinking of you while i lie in his bed
i still see your face and on it i see
the love that you felt for me

but i’m with him, and he’s not you
i’m with him, and he’s not you
i’m with him, and he’s not you
i’m with him
