Never Be Like You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What I would do to take away
This fear of being loved, allegiance to the pain
Now I’m fucked up and I’m missing you
He’ll never be like you
I would give anything to change
This fickle-minded heart that loves fake shiny things
Now I’m fucked up and I’m missing you
He’ll never be like you
[Chorus]
I’m only human, can’t you see? I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face, tell me everything’s okay
‘Cause I got it, ooh, he’ll never be like you
I’m only human, can’t you see? I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face, tell me everything’s okay
‘Cause I got it, ooh, he’ll never be like you
[Verse 2]
How do I make you wanna stay?
Hate sleeping on my own, missing the way you taste
Now I’m fucked up and I’m missing you
He’ll never be like you
Stop looking at me with those eyes
Like I could disappear and you wouldn’t care why
Now I’m fucked up and I’m missing you
He’ll never be like you
[Chorus]
I’m only human, can’t you see? I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face, tell me everything’s okay
‘Cause I got it, ooh, he’ll never be like you
I’m only human, can’t you see? I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face, tell me everything’s okay
‘Cause I got it, ooh, he’ll never be like you
[Bridge]
I’m falling on my knees, forgive me, I’m a fucking fool
I’m begging, darling, please, absolve me of my sins, won’t you?
I’m falling on my knees, forgive me, I’m a fucking fool
I’m begging, darling, please, absolve me of my sins, won’t you?
[Chorus]
I’m only human, can’t you see? I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face, tell me everything’s okay
‘Cause I got it, ooh, he’ll never be like you
I’m only human, can’t you see? I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face, tell me everything’s okay
‘Cause I got it, ooh, he’ll never be like you
[Outro]
Baby, baby, please believe me
C’mon, take it easy
Please don’t ever leave me, ooh
He’ll never be like you
