Lyrics

Verse 4:
[00:04.72] Feelings overflow
[00:10.99] And I’m not letting go
[00:17.56] Though in my heart I know
[00:24.40] I know
[00:27.85] Don’t wanna be over you（3x）
[00:50.60] But you are not you
[00:55.80] She said this wasn’t easy for her
[00:58.41] Deciding to walk away wasn’t easy to her
[01:01.58] And she said, she felt the world was just something that she observed
[01:03.70] That she was inadequate
[01:06.62] That her place hadn’t been earned
[01:08.82] She said, she wasn’t happy with how her life had turned
[01:11.45] Feeling the real her was something she had to learn
[01:15.20] I said, this isn’t easy but I support unnerved
[01:18.37] Believing that in time she’d wake up and return
[01:21.79] But hope would fade as those few days had turned to weeks
[01:24.95] And those weeks created something of which I couldn’t speak
[01:28.41] Except to say it spoke as if I wasn’t me
[01:31.63] As if we now hadn’t been together since we were teens
[01:35.18] As if these nine years were from a convincing dream
[01:38.44] And the woman I thought I loved never loved me, I can’t conceive
[01:42.10] This had to be a thing
[01:44.39] Sort of like a changeling
[01:45.32] It acted and spoke the part
[01:46.59] But her essence it couldn’t sing
[01:49.36] Don’t wanna be over you （3x）
[02:10.90] But I’ll just have to make it through
[02:12.84] Cuz you are not you
[02:18.28] When you’ve gone astray
[02:25.35] And the world just won’t obey
[02:32.64] When you fall away
[02:37.30] Well we all must find our own way
[02:43.98] It’s quite amusing how being apart can yield
[02:46.51] Levels of clarity on confusion once thought surreal
[02:50.51] And what amazement to come to find you can heal
[02:53.57] That one’s future isn’t ill-fated but slated for high appeal
[02:57.51] Well solace gives opportunity to reveal
[03:00.20] And time sheds perspective on why one feels
[03:04.40] To see success even in division’s the test
[03:07.20] Well every day we had wasn’t anything short of blessed
[03:10.59] So changeling, change brings
[03:12.71] More than deranged things
[03:14.30] Strange things
[03:15.85] I’ve near persevered in an upswing
[03:16.93] So cling to new hope
[03:19.70] More than a good show
[03:21.70] So do sing, do glow
[03:23.51] And to this new you
[03:25.56] Let us remove ado
[03:26.83] Let us now greet renewed and just start from a different view
[03:30.67] I’ll introduce myself
[03:31.93] Now you introduce yourself
[03:33.65] We’ll smile and live in health as two friends who have never dwelt
[03:38.12] Don’t wanna be over you （3x）
[03:58.43] But you are not you
[04:04.51] Don’t wanna be over you （3x）
[04:24.52] But you are not you
[04:27.70] You are not you (5x)
