Lyrics

I'm Not You

I could walk for miles and miles in your shoes
Read your books, drive your car, and pay your union dues

But I?m never going to know what?s inside your head
What runs through your mind late at night in your bed
The feelings that grab you deep in your heart
What makes you stop, and why do you start
?Cause I?m not you

I?d love to sit for hours and listen while the night grows pale
While you tell me your secrets,
Your dreams, your fears, your life tale

But I?m never going to know what?s inside your head
Why you love what you love and dread what you dread
The feeling pounding deep in your heart
Joy lifting you up, pain tearing you apart
?Cause I?m not you

No matter how well I know you, how much we care
How deeply I love you, and how much we share
We can carry this talking, feeling thing only so far
I?m who I am, and you?re who you are
I?m not you

I could open your mail, read the letters from your mom
Have dinner with your sister, play catch with your kids on the lawn

But I?m never going to know what?s inside your head
What runs through your mind late at night in your bed
The feelings that grab you deep in your heart
What makes you stop, and why do you start
?Cause I?m not you
No I?m not you
