Him Lyrics by James Marriott

No Left Brain

2021

[Verse 1]
Why'd it have to be him?
I'd say you let me down
But he's been here before and come back around
Will he take you to the same place?
One more hardback in your bookcase
You've got that look in your eyes, I'm blind

[Chorus]
Have you ever seen, ever seen a guy with moves like that?
Makes me wonder how I've been so bad
My head turns when the lights go dim
Have you ever been, ever been with a guy like that?
Out of evеryone you could've had
Why'd it have to bе
Why'd it have to be
Why'd it have to be him?

[Verse 2]
Take my mind for a spin
You don't believe in that shit anyway
How long has it been, since I came down?
Gave up on New Years Day
Conceal that smile on your face
I've only packed a suitcase
Leave the future defined if you don't mind

[Chorus]
Have you ever seen, ever seen a guy with moves like that?
Makes me wonder how I've been so bad
My head turns when the lights go dim
Have you ever been, ever been with a guy like that?
Out of everyone you could've had
Why'd it have to be
Why'd it have to be
Why'd it have to be him?

[Bridge]
Was it when you looked at him?
Was it because he thought he could be
Much more than I've ever been?
Was it because he wasn't me?
Was it when you looked at him?
Was it because he thought he could be
Much more than I've ever been?
Was it because he wasn't me?

[Outro]
Why'd it have to be him?
I'd say you let me down
But we've been here before, it's come back around
