"Her" lyrics

Baby, I've been watching from a distance
And everything it rings familiarly, mm
But I can't imagine what you must be thinking
'Cause she can never be what I can be

Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted
And there's so much your eyes don't even see, yeah
And then I laid my eyes upon your woman
And to my surprise I saw me looking at me
But how could you be with her?

Her
You don't really love her, no
She
'Cause she's not me and I
I
I won't stand by and watch you pretend

So baby how could you?

Her
You don't really love her, no
She
'Cause she's not me and I
I
I can't stand by and watch you pretend

We parted so that we could make it better
'Cause boy, you said we needed time and space, mm
We vowed that it was only temporary
But I never thought that I would be replaced

Now you're living all our dreams with another
And you're giving everything you promised me
You're pretending we're together when we're nothing
But she's not me, she can't be, no
How could you be with her, oh baby?

Her
You don't really love her, no, no
She
'Cause she's not me and I
I
I can't stand by and watch you pretend

So how could you play me?

Her
'Cause don't really love her, no
She
'Cause she's not me and I
I
I can't stand by and watch you pretend

I never thought that you would be hurting this way
And I never thought I'd be without you, without you
You didn't have to run away to find me again
'Cause I've always been here I am the real thing
So don't you pretend, oh

Her
You don't really love her
She
'Cause she's not me and I
I
I can't stand by and watch you pretend

Oh
Her
You don't really love her, no
She
'Cause you really love and and I
I
I can't stand by and let you pretend

We can start again
Her
Ya gotta let her go baby
She
And bring your love to me
I
I want your love, I need your love
You can't pretend
