[Intro]
I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was
I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop
And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk
I guess I'm not as over you as I thought
[Verse 1]
I've spent a lot of nights memorizing lines
Thinking 'bout what I might say
And, after all this time, I'm still fight or flight
I can't help but run away
[Pre-Chorus]
I know we're getting older
We're moving on and over
But everywhere I go, I see your face
[Chorus]
I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was
I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop

I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was
I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop
And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk
I guess I'm not as over you as I thought
[Post-Chorus]
And I thought I was, ooh
And I thought I was, ooh
[Bridge]
The truth is no one's like you
And a heart cannot be lied to
A lookalike could never take your place
[Chorus]
I guess I'm not as over you as I thought that I was
I saw someone who looked like you at our favorite coffee shop
And part of me was hoping we would get the chance to talk
I guess I'm not as over you as I thought
[Outro]
No, I guess I'm not as over you as I thought
No, I guess I'm not as over you as I thought
And I thought I was

The song poured out of me immediately after seeing someone who I thought was my ex at a coffee shop. Sucker punched in the heart, I realized I’m not quite as over them as I thought, and that no one, not even a look-alike, could ever take their place.
