Lyrics

I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN MISTREATED; I’VE TRIED TO TAKE IT SLOW.
BUT, IF THIS LOVE CAN NEVER BE, JUST TELL ME AND I’LL GO.
CAN’T YOU OPEN UP YOUR HEART AND TRUST SOMEONE AGAIN?
YOU PRETEND I’M JUST A FRIEND, WON’T YOU LET ME IN

I’VE NEVER TRIED TO HURT YOU OR LAUGH AT WHAT YOU THOUGHT
I’VE NEVER TRIED TO TURN YOU INTO SOMEONE THAT YOU’RE NOT
CAN’T YOU SEE I’D NEVER HARM YOU, YOU KNOW ME BY NOW
HE’S THE ONE WHO DID YOU WRONG, MUST I SHOUT OUT LOUD

I’M NOT HIM I’M NOT THE MAN WHO PUT YOU DOWN FOR TRYIN’
I’M NOT HIM I’M NOT THE MAN WHO ALWAYS LEFT YOU CRYIN’
I’M NOT HIM I’M JUST SOMEONE WHO’LL ALWAYS STAND BESIDE YOU
I’M NOT HIM THERE’S NOT A MAN WHO’LL LOVE YOU MORE THAN I DO
I’M NOT HIM

I CHERISH EVERY MOMENT THAT I SHARE WITH YOU
I’D GIVE MY LIFE IF I COULD EASE THE PAIN HE PUT YOU THROUGH
I’M THE ONE WHO’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
GIVE ME TIME TO PROVE THAT I’M WHO YOU’RE WAITING FOR.

I’M NOT HIM I’M NOT THE MAN WHO PUT YOU DOWN FOR TRYIN’
I’M NOT HIM I’M NOT THE MAN WHO ALWAYS LEFT YOU CRYIN’
I’M NOT HIM I’M JUST SOMEONE WHO’LL ALWAYS STAND BESIDE YOU
I’M NOT HIM THERE’S NOT A MAN WHO’LL LOVE YOU MORE THAN I DO

IT’S HARD WHEN YOU’VE BEEN VICTIMIZED
TO GIVE YOUR HEART AGAIN
ALL THAT I CAN SAY IS:

I’M NOT HIM I’M NOT THE MAN WHO PUT YOU DOWN FOR TRYIN’
I’M NOT HIM I’M NOT THE MAN WHO ALWAYS LEFT YOU CRYIN’
I’M NOT HIM I’M JUST SOMEONE WHO’LL ALWAYS STAND BESIDE YOU
I’M NOT HIM THERE’S NOT A MAN WHO’LL LOVE YOU MORE THAN I DO
I’M NOT HIM !
