NOT LIKE THE OTHERS

[Intro] maybe this time… maybe this one stays [Verse 1] met you late but it felt right no rehearsed lines, no fake light you don’t talk like you’ve done this before don’t feel like the ones I ignore you don’t rush, you don’t press leave your space, I can rest I don’t check what you say I just listen… and stay [Pre-Chorus] it’s quiet… she’s quiet… [Chorus] you’re not like the others you don’t feel the same you don’t play the patterns you don’t know the game you’re not like the others I can finally breathe if you stay a little longer maybe you stay with me [Verse 2] you don’t hide when your phone lights up don’t switch tone when it gets too much say what you mean, and it lands just right no second meaning I need to fight you don’t feel like a warning sign no sharp edge I need to find I don’t brace when you get close— …why does that feel wrong? [Pre-Chorus] she moved… just a little… [Chorus] you’re not like the others that’s what scares me now you don’t break the pattern but you don’t fit somehow you’re not like the others I don’t feel the edge if there’s nothing to protect from what happens next? [Bridge] if you’re good… then why do I feel her? if you stay… will she let you? if nothing’s wrong… why is it closer now? “he will…” [Final Chorus] you’re not like the others (that’s what they all say) you don’t give me reasons (she’ll find one anyway) you’re not like the others (I want you to stay) you don’t need a warning— …but she doesn’t wait [Outro] maybe this time… “not this one…”
