"Cant Be What Its Not" lyrics
Started as friends
When I slid in those DMs
So beautiful and kind
Seemed like you were mine
And made for me
Stayed on my mind
Like you were my drugs but it wasn't enough
I guess I had to bleed
Now I'm cryin and I see
Every time we speak takes a piece of me
I love till I'm used up
It's how I'm designed
The world was better when I knew you were mine
Yeah
It is what it is
But it can't be what it's not
I'm sad to see you leave when it's all that I've got
But if you don't want me, then I can't want you
With the eyes so green left my red heart blue
Hope you find you when you left me
Layin in my bed just thinking
About your sweet little laugh and your beautiful touch
But you had to let me go 'cause I wanted too much
Guess I gotta learn to just love me
How the hell do I just love me?
I gotta let you go like you let me
Slippin away into nothing
How are you better without me?
You're my air and now I'm drowning
Our potential was perfect
But just on the surface
Felt like I was flyin
When I'm fallin
Fallin for you
Supposed to be my parachute
Fallin alone
Got me feelin alone
Can't be what it's not
Deep conversations about the past and I thought
I was lucky for the love and the one that I got
But now I'm not so sure how you fucked me up
All I wanted was you
Not to interrupt
I'd move the moon for you
And I'm not that tough
With tears of regret that I let you catch me up
Never should've let you know you had me
Now I'm fearful of the hurt that you left me
If this is true love I say fuck it
'Cause my heart fell to pieces and it's published
Another chapter closed and I can't take
Another day of this motherfuckin heartbreak
Keep sayin it'll heal but it takes time
Time is all I wanted but you weren't mine
Playin with my feelings like an old toy
I gotta move on I got no choice
I wish it would've worked 'cause I loved you
Now you're just a dream when I had you
You had my soul
And I do know that was unhealthy but I lost control
Glad that I did 'cause it was special
And I don't wanna let you go to grow
I know
Why'd you let me go?
Why was I so easy to let go?
I guess I'll never know
How are you better without me?
You're my air and now I'm drowning
Our potential was perfect
But just on the surface
Felt like I was flyin
When I'm fallin
Fallin for you
Supposed to be my parachute
Fallin alone
Got me feelin alone
Can't be what it's not
When I slid in those DMs
So beautiful and kind
Seemed like you were mine
And made for me
Stayed on my mind
Like you were my drugs but it wasn't enough
I guess I had to bleed
Now I'm cryin and I see
Every time we speak takes a piece of me
I love till I'm used up
It's how I'm designed
The world was better when I knew you were mine
Yeah
It is what it is
But it can't be what it's not
I'm sad to see you leave when it's all that I've got
But if you don't want me, then I can't want you
With the eyes so green left my red heart blue
Hope you find you when you left me
Layin in my bed just thinking
About your sweet little laugh and your beautiful touch
But you had to let me go 'cause I wanted too much
Guess I gotta learn to just love me
How the hell do I just love me?
I gotta let you go like you let me
