[Verse 1]
Holding on to skin and bone
Your wasted love that's not your own
I've been away for far too long
But now I'm here, I need you home
Cause I've been keeping faith, tryna find my way
While he's taking my place
You don't smile like you do with me
I'll give all I have just to prove
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
[Chorus]
I'm not begging you to leave him
I'm not asking you to choose
Just want you to tell me, you won't hide from the truth
Now I can't fight the feeling we got so much more to lose
When you're alone does he make you ache to your bones?
[Post-Chorus]
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
[Verse 2]
It's only you that haunts my dreams
These lonely nights tear me at the seams
Oh can you feel my fingers pulling down your spine
When he takes your hand, do you pray for mine?
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
[Chorus]
I'm not begging you to leave him
I'm not asking you to choose
Just want you to tell me, you won't hide from the truth
Now I can't fight the feeling we got so much more to lose
When you're alone does he make you ache to your bones?
[Bridge]
Does he set your soul on fire?
Can he take you ever higher?
Can he do the things that I do, honey?
Doesn't matter what it takes
I refuse to walk away
Unless you tell me that I'm locked out honey
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
[Chorus]
I'm not begging you to leave him
I'm not asking you to choose
Just want you to tell me, you won`t hide from the truth
Now I can't fight the feeling we got so much more to lose
When you're alone does he make you ache to your bones?
[Outro]
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do, like I do, like I do
He don't love you like I do
