Babe I can't fake this charade
How much longer I gotta play?
Understand
I can't pretend
Wish you'd tell if I should stay
Do we stay to keep playing games?
Understand
I can't pretend

I'm sorry
That my all ain't what you're expecting
No I can't make you feel like how he did
No I can't force myself
To be the man you felt
That you needed

Pressure rising, won't you let me breathe?
Girl your eyes they tell their own stories
Oh you see someone else when you look at me
Baby I'm not him
No I'll never be

Lemme interject if I may
If it's someone else then why stay?
If it's him
Then choose him

I'm sorry
That my all ain't what you're expecting
No I can't make you feel like how he did
No I can't force myself
To be the man you felt
That you needed

Pressure rising, won't you let me breathe?
Girl your eyes they tell their own stories
Oh you see someone else when you look at me
Baby I'm not him
No I'll never be

Do I gotta
Fill the shoes of your history?
Replicate what you had previously?
Oh you see someone else when you look at me
Baby I'm not him
No I'll never be
Never be

My mind says I'm done
But my heart says don't run
Oh no, it's in your hands
Won't you give this a chance?

Pressure rising, won't you let me breathe?
Girl your eyes they tell their own stories
See someone else when you look at me
Baby I'm not him, oh yeah

Pressure rising, won't you let me breathe?
Girl your eyes they tell their own stories
Oh you see someone else when you look at me
Baby I'm not him,
No I'll never be

Do I gotta
Fill the shoes of your history?
Replicate what you had previously?
Oh you see someone else when you look at me
Baby I'm not him
No I'll never be
Never be
