[Verse 1]
I can’t kiss you like he did
Bet you wish I had his lips
But I don’t, no, I don’t
And I can’t hold you quite the same
Guess my arms don’t seem as safe
When it’s cold, when it’s cold
(Explanation Of Verse 1)
In the opening verse, the singer acknowledges their perceived shortcomings in comparison to a previous partner. The mention of not being able to kiss the way the previous partner did and the insecurity about their own physical attributes creates a sense of vulnerability. The lyrics reflect a desire to measure up to the standards set by the past, highlighting the pressure and self-doubt that can come with entering a relationship where a previous love still lingers.
[Verse 2]
You say you’re fine, you’re moving on
Say that I’m the only one
But I know, yes, I know
That I’m in his shadow all the time
‘Cause he still creeps up on your mind
Like a ghost, like a ghost
(Explanation Of Verse 2)
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional landscape of the new relationship. Despite the reassurance from the current partner that they are fine and moving on, the singer feels the presence of the past love like a lingering ghost. The metaphorical use of “in his shadow” suggests a constant comparison and the persistent impact of the previous relationship on the current one. The emotional weight of trying to compete with a memory is expressed through the haunting imagery.
Complete Lyrics Of The Track
[Verse 1]
I can’t kiss you like he did
Bet you wish I had his lips
But I don’t, no, I don’t
And I can’t hold you quite the same
Guess my arms don’t seem as safe
When it’s cold, when it’s cold
[Chorus]
You got me feelin’ like I don’t deserve you
And I’m tryin’ to deal with this pain
But it kills me ’cause I know you still love him
So now you gotta let go of someone
‘Cause while you’re holding on to what you had
You’re not giving me a chance
To ever really be your man
[Verse 2]
You say you’re fine, you’re moving on
Say that I’m the only one
But I know, yes, I know
That I’m in his shadow all the time
‘Cause he still creeps up on your mind
Like a ghost, like a ghost
[Chorus]
You got me feelin’ like I don’t deserve you
And I’m tryin’ to deal with this pain
But it kills me ’cause I know you still love him
So now you gotta let go of someone
‘Cause while you’re holding on to what you had
You’re not giving me a chance
To ever really be your man
[Bridge]
But if you let me, I could set your world on fire
Give you somethin’ better than you’ve ever had
And if you let me in, girl we’d have everythin’
But it’s like your heart is stuck in the past
[Chorus]
And it kills me ’cause I know you still love him
So now you gotta let go of someone
‘Cause while you’re holding on to what you had
You’re not giving me a chance
To ever really be your man
It kills me ’cause I know you still love him
So now you gotta let go of someone
‘Cause while you’re holding on to what you had
You’re not giving me a chance
While you’re holding on to what you had
You’re not giving me a chance
To ever really be your man
I’ll never really be
I’ll never really be
I’ll never really be your man
