You're Just Not Her

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

Oh, I think it’s over

Think it's safe to come out now

Falling in love is an avalanche

I lost you in the aftermath

In the silence

When the smoke clears

There is a choice that you have to make

Fight for it or walk away

If she’s the one you’ll stay

And you’re just not her

I’m sorry you’re not her

I’m sorry you’re not the last call on the drive home

When you found the one and the rest is a blur

And you’re just not her

Must’ve known her in a past life

Must’ve sold my soul to her

Every glimmer of new love fades

In her cosmic meteor rains

All the cards had

Her name on them

You’re intricate and wild and bright

Magnificent and right

You’re just not her

I’m sorry you’re not her

I’m sorry that I led you on

Tried to make it feel right

When I knew the whole time

This was never gonna work

‘Cause you’re just not her

You ask me why

I just stare blindly

Were there signs?

I demur politely

My alibi

Always to claim the nice guy

Play it right

So well that I fooled even me, too

Biding time pretending to choose

But I picture her every single time I kiss you

I tried to love you

But you’re just not her

You’re just not her

She’ll always be the last call on the drive home

You’ll move on and find someone who

Lights up when you walk in the room

Just for you the way I do for her

For me it’s her

And you’re just not her

You’re just not her
