WHY (YOU'RE NOT HIM)


You gave me everything
All a woman could ask for and more
I really don't know what I did
To deserve such a beautiful man

You run into my life
In the right place
You came into my life
In the right moment

Chorus:
So, why
Why do I feel you're more than I can take?
So, why
Why do I feel so far away from you?
You stand in your place
But I'm running, running, I'm running
On a different road
Even though you hold my hand
I feel all your love in your kiss
So, why

I was in a million pieces
But you put them all back in
You made the track of my tears disappear
You promise me you'll never leave me alone
You never judge all the words I said
Everything I had locked up inside
You heard them all

Your hand on mine
You pull me close
You say sweet nonsense words
I can feel your hot breath on my neck
But mind isn't where it should be
I'm thousand miles away from here

Chorus:
So, why
Why do I feel you're more than I can take?
So, why
Why do I feel so far away from you?
You stand in your place
But I'm running, running, I'm running
On a different road
Even though you hold my hand
I feel all your love in your kiss
So, why

I know that you love me
I know that you do
Your beautiful eyes they shine
I love the way you make me smile
But I can't love you
Like how much you love me

I don't want to break your heart
But I know that I will
Don't ask me for what I can't give
Don't say those words
I ain't telling them back to you

These tears they fall
My heart it breaks
'Cause I don't want to hurt you
But I know that I will
I know that I will

You gave me everything
All I could ask for and more
You made the track of my tears disappear
But you're not him
Oh no, you're not him
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry

I told you I didn't want to hurt you
But I did, but I did
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
