Take a look in my eyes
It's been a long, long time
I used to feel so strong
When I knew you were mine
Since you let me down
I'm hard to be around
I don't know what I'm gonna do
He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be you

I guess it all comes around
Baby please don't cry
Love is gonna be a little reckless
Oh Love is all I have to stand trial
But since you let me go
There's nothing going on
I don't know what I'm gonna do
He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be you

He knows the moves
He play's the part
But he only has me
He don't have my heart
He could never be you
He could never be you

So take a look in my eyes
No you can't hide the truth
No, you don't get by on pride
Cause it'll run over you
But since you let me down
I'm hard to be around
I don't know what I'm gonna do
He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be you

SOLO
He could never be you?
