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
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 plays 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
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
