Anything He Was

Practice run
You're saving up speed for the real thing
Buckled tight
In the backseat of a long ride to healing
Dried up glue, he's still on you
And you're breathing on me
Honest truth, it feels a little better than leaving

I know I can't be anything he was to you
But I'll try to, try to
Nothing like he was
But I know what he meant to you
I'll try to, oh
Live up to 'em
Memories proving
You were happier doing
Anything we like to do
When he was next to you
I'll try to, try to

Oh-mm

Filling shoes
And clinging onto you, while you're sleeping
You sobered up and had enough of chasing the feelings
Waking up to an empty room after dreaming of you (mm)
Honest truth, I don't know what it really is you're needing

I know I can't be anything he was to you (oh)
But I'll try to, try to
Nothing like he was
But I know what he meant to you
I'll try to, oh (oh)
Live up to 'em
Memories proving
You were happier doing
Anything we like to do
When he was next to you
I'll try to, try to

Oh

You're the closest thing to anything
And I know you don't mean to be rude
By not promising anything
There's just nothing more you wanna do
I'm just wrestling
Because I think in my mind you're not number two
But it's nice to be anything at all

I know I can't be anything he was to you
But I'll try to, try to
Nothing like he was
But I know what he meant to you
I'll try to, oh
Live up to 'em
Memories proving
You were happier doing
Anything we like to do
When he was next to you
I'll try to, try to
