Story Behind The Song

My husband came from a broken relationship...his former wife was unfaithful. It nearly caused us to break up. Fortunately, we were able to get through it. We're going on year 21!

Song Description

So many people can relate to this! Trust is broken, and it is hard to feel confident again. That's the heart of this song. Can two people overcome past pain?

Lyrics

I'm Not Her

ROADMAP: VS1; CH; VS2; CH; BR; Final CH

VERSE 1
5 o'clock in the morning
And I still haven't found the way to make you see
You can trust what you're feeling
Even though you're afraid to try
When will you let go of yesterday
Baby, why won't you believe me when I say

CH
I'm not her; she's not anything like me
Ours could be a different story
With a happy ending
Just one thing keeps you from believin'
It's the way she hurt you
But I won't desert you
I'm not her

VERSE 2
I know all about cheatin'
'Cause there once was a time I felt the way you do
Did she give you a reason for the scar she left on your heart
Chances don't come with a guarantee
But I promise, Baby, I will never leave.

BRIDGE
If only you could see the future as clearly as you can see the past
Then, maybe you could see, Baby, we can make this last
Make it last

LAST CH
Cause I'm not her; she's not anything like me
Ours could be a different story
With a happy ending
Just one thing keeps you from believin'
I know how she hurt you
But I won't desert you
I'm not her..no, no
You should know by now
You should know by now
I'm not her
