Lyrics

Never Be Like You (feat. Kai)

What I would do to take away this fear of being loved
Allegiance to the pain
Now I fucked up and I miss you
He'll never be like you

I would give anything to change this fickle-minded heart
That loves fake shiny things
Now I fucked up and I miss you
He'll never be like you

I'm only human, can't you see?
I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face
Tell me everything's okay
'Cause I got it
Ooh, he never be like you

I'm only human, can't you see?
I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face
Tell me everything's okay
'Cause I got it
Ooh, he never be like you

How do I make you wanna stay?
Hate sleeping on my own, missing the way you taste
Now I'm fucked up and I miss you
Never be like you

Stop looking at me with those eyes
Like I could disappear and you wouldn't care why
Now I'm fucked up and I'm missing you
He never be like you

I'm only human, can't you see?
I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face
Tell me everything's okay
'Cause I got it
Ooh, never be like you

I'm only human, can't you see?
I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face
Tell me everything's okay
'Cause I got it
Ooh, never be like you

I'm falling on my knees
Forgive me, I'm a fucking fool
I'm begging, darling, please
Absolve me of my sins, won't you?

Oh, I'm falling on my knees
Forgive me, I'm a fucking fool
Ooh, I'm begging, darling, please
Absolve me of my sins, won't you?

I'm only human, can't you see?
I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face
Tell me everything's okay
'Cause I got it
Ooh, never be like you

I'm only human, can't you see?
I made, I made a mistake
Please just look me in my face
Tell me everything's okay
'Cause I got it
Ooh, never be like you

Baby, baby please believe me
C'mon, take it easy
Please don't ever leave me
Ooh, never be like you
