Not you, But Me

We looked so natural in that frame
Like nothing could ever change
But now when I see myself in it
I don’t feel the same
It’s not your voice, it’s not your name
It’s not the touch or who’s to blame
It’s just the me that used to glow
She’s someone I don’t know
Not you, but me
That’s what I keep thinking of
Not love, not hate
Just the version I let go of
If I could bring her back
Would she still know how to be?
The one who used to smile so free
Not you, but me
That old street still feels the same
But I walk through it like a ghost
Your face is gone, the lights remain
But I’m not who I miss the most
It’s not your voice, it’s not your name
It’s not the touch or who’s to blame
It’s just the me that used to glow
She’s someone I don’t know
Maybe she’s still hiding deep
Underneath the quiet me
If I could only let her speak
Would she come back softly?
Not you, but me
Still lingers when I’m alone
Not love, not loss
Just the me I used to know
And if I could hold her hand
I’d say “Don’t disappear on me”
‘Cause the one I’m searching for is
Not you, but me
It’s not your voice, it’s not your name
It’s not the touch or who’s to blame
It’s just the me that used to glow
She’s someone I don’t know
