NO LONGER HIM

Lyrics

[INTRO – FEMALE SOLO, FIRST SOUND OF THE SONG] I still remember the way you smiled The man who could make the darkest days worthwhile [VERSE 1 – MALE LEAD, FEMALE JOINS WITH SUBTLE HARMONIES] You’d look at me, I’d know just what you meant Now I don’t know where the real you went Your eyes are open, but you’re somewhere else A stranger living inside yourself I reach for you, but you turn away And I miss the man you were yesterday [PRE-CHORUS – MALE LEAD, FEMALE HARMONIES BUILD] I keep searching for a trace Of the man I knew behind your face But every time I look into your eyes It’s like watching someone else inside [CHORUS – MALE LEAD, FEMALE POWERFUL HARMONIES AND RESPONSES] You’re still here, but you’re no longer him I see your face, but I can’t find what’s within I miss the man who used to hold me close The one I loved, the one I miss the most And it kills me knowing what you’ve become Watching the damage, watching what’s been done You’re standing here, but somehow he’s gone I’m still holding on to someone who’s no longer him [VERSE 2 – MALE LEAD, FEMALE BACKING VOCALS] The smallest things don’t feel the same I barely recognise the sound of your name The laughter’s gone, the warmth has disappeared And I don’t know the man who’s standing here I wonder if you ever see it too The distance growing between me and you Or are you lost somewhere inside your mind Searching for a place you cannot find [PRE-CHORUS – MALE LEAD, FEMALE HARMONIES BUILD] I keep searching for a trace Of the man I knew behind your face But every time I look into your eyes It’s like watching someone else inside [CHORUS – MALE LEAD, FEMALE POWERFUL HARMONIES AND RESPONSES] You’re still here, but you’re no longer him I see your face, but I can’t find what’s within I miss the man who used to hold me close The one I loved, the one I miss the most And it kills me knowing what you’ve become Watching the damage, watching what’s been done You’re standing here, but somehow he’s gone I’m still holding on to someone who’s no longer him [EMOTIONAL MELODIC GUITAR SOLO] [BRIDGE – MALE LEAD, FEMALE SOFT HARMONIES THAT BUILD] I don’t know how to grieve someone alive Or how to keep loving what’s left inside I can’t reach you, I can’t pull you through And God, I miss the man I once knew [FINAL CHORUS – MALE DOMINANT LEAD, FEMALE POWERFUL HARMONIES THROUGHOUT] You’re still here, but you’re no longer him I see your face, but I can’t find what’s within I miss the man who used to hold me close The one I loved, the one I miss the most And if there’s still a part of you in there I hope someday you find your way back here You’re standing here, but somehow he’s gone I’m still missing someone who’s no longer him [OUTRO – FEMALE SINGS THE FIRST LINE, MALE JOINS SOFTLY ON THE SECOND] FEMALE: I miss you… BOTH: Even when you’re right here.
