Lyrics

I don’t recall how your hand felt in mine
Or the smell of your hair in September sunshine
The smile in your eyes doesn’t make me smile back
And when you drive by, I don’t stop in my tracks

I forget every step that we danced to the band
Our footprints reclaimed by the waves on the sand
My skin never burns from the heat of your touch
There are so many things I don’t think about much

It’s not you, it’s never you that I miss
My lips can’t remember the taste of your kiss
The sky’s always clear, but babe, I’m never blue
There may be one thing I’m missing, but it’s never you

I don’t check my phone just to see if it rang
I don’t find myself humming the last song you sang
I don’t leave the tv on to drown out the sound
And I promise I’ll bring back those records I found

It’s not you, it’s never you that I’d hold
You’re not the one that I’d cling to when the night gets too cold
No you’re not the reason I do what I do
I know how it looks, babe, but, it’s never you

I don’t see your picture when I turn out the light
And it isn’t your name I call out in the night
I don’t wake up crying from the hurt on your face
No tears on your t-shirt that’s my pillowcase

It’s not you, it’s never you that I miss
My lips can’t remember the taste of your kiss
Maybe you can’t forget how I drove you away
But never’s a word that I try not to say
No, never’s a word that I try not to say
