Babe, I can't fake this charade
How much longer I gotta play?
Understand
I can't pretend
Wish you'd tell 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 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 (oh)
If it's someone else, then why stay? (Then why stay?)
If it's him (if it's him)
Then choose him (then choose him)
Close my eyes and wish for the best (oh, I)
I promise that I won't be upset (be upset)
If it's him (if it's him)
Please choose him (please choose him)
But I'm sorry
That my all ain't what you're expecting
No, you won't feel the way that I'm feeling
No, I can't trust 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, yeah
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? (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? (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, yeah
Mmm-mmm
Yeah
