lyrics

All these girls don't compare to you
Empty smiles is all they do
They find happiness in their views
There's something different I see in you

'Cause you're not like them so
Why pretend to
Be something you're not
Oh I have no right to
Live your life
I'd be lying if I said, "I'm fine"

And I spent all my life in someone else's shoes
But that won't help me the words to say to you
Is the only thing I can do to watch you slip away?
When I finally found someone I see in a different way

Now I can't put away my phone
Trying to drown feelings as I scroll
But they'll never compare to you
'Cause empty smiles is all they'll ever do

'Cause you're not like them so
Why pretend to
Be something you're not
Oh I have no right to
Live your life
I'd be lying if I said, "I'm fine"

And I spent all my life in someone else's shoes
But that won't help me the words to say to you
Is the only thing I can do to watch you slip away?
When I finally found someone I see in a different way

And I'm not perfect
So far from it, yeah
But you're so perfect
As you are

And I spent all my life in someone else's shoes
But that won't help me the words to say to you, yeah
Is the only thing I can do to watch you slip away? (Don't slip away, oh no no)
When I finally found someone I see in a different way
