I saw your story late last night
Couldn't look away
He's got dark hair, tall frame
Everything I'm not made
Smiling in the sunlight
Where we used to stand
Your head on his shoulder
His arm around your hand
I scroll back through our pictures
Try to understand
How the girl who swore forever
Found forever in another man
You said it wasn't about looks
That it was deeper than skin
But now I'm staring at the mirror
Wondering where I fit in
She's dating someone who looks nothing like
me
And I'm losing sleep over what that means
Was I too quiet, too broken, too plain to see?
Did I lack the spark that now lights up her feet?
He's everything I'm not And that's killing me slow
Cause if it wasn't the face Then what did I lack
To make you let go?
To make you let go?
He laughs loud in videos Takes you dancing till dawn
The kind of easy confidence I never quite put on
You wear the dresses I love
But not for his eyes
And I keep thinking maybe that's where I fell behind
I gave you my whole heart
Thought that was enough
But clearly something in me Wasn't worth the love
You said it's not you,
it's timing But timing found him fast
Now I'm picking apart pieces of a love that's in the past
She's dating someone who looks nothing like me
And I'm losing sleep over what that means
Was I too quiet, too broken,
too plain to see?
Did I lack the spark that now lights up her feet?
He's everything I'm not And that's killing me slow
Cause if it wasn't the face
Then what did I lack
To make you let go?
To make you let go?
I wasn't the villain,
I wasn't the flame I was steady and safe,
but maybe that's lame
You wanted the rush,
the loud,
the brand new And I was just me,
guess that wasn't enough for you
Now he's holding the future I thought
was mine
While I'm here asking the dark what was wrong with my design
She's dating someone who looks nothing like me
And the truth is cutting deeper than it should be
I wasn't the one who could make your heart race
I lacked whatever it takes to keep you in place
Instead of looking back What did I lack?
Tell me what did I lack?
