I see the way you look at him
Like he’s the start, the light, the wind
But you don’t see the cracks beneath
The smile he wears hides broken teeth
He tells you things you want to hear
Then disappears, then reappears
And every time you take him back
Another piece of you turns black
I tried to bite my tongue, stay blind
But I can’t lie, not one more time
He’s not the one who’ll hold you right
Not the one who stays through night
He’s just a shadow in disguise
Selling you sweet, bitter lies
I know it hurts to hear it now
But someday, girl, you’ll see how
He’s not the one who sees your light
He’s just the dark in borrowed light
You say “but no one understands”
And still he lets go of your hand
You call it love, but love don’t bruise
And hearts don’t win when they just lose
I’ve watched you fall a thousand times
And still pretend you’re doing fine
He’s not the one who’ll hold you right
Not the one who stays through night
He’s just a shadow in disguise
Selling you sweet, bitter lies
I know it hurts to hear it now
But someday, girl, you’ll see how
He’s not the one who sees your light
He’s just the dark in borrowed light
You deserve the kind of fire
That warms you up, not burns you tired
But he’s a flame that takes, not gives
And this is not the way to live
He’s not the one, he never was
Just a habit dressed in flaws
You keep waiting, hoping still
But love’s not something he can feel
So if I finally speak this truth
It’s not to hurt, it’s all for you
He’s not the one, please just run
Before he dims your rising sun
