If It's Not You Lyrics

I see you standing over there
Why won't you come on over
The way things work seems so unfair
I'm drunk but you're still sober
I wasted time on silly things
I've never felt my own way
I used to dream of wedding rings
I never felt my own so

But if I can't have you
I know what to do
I know where to go
To get over you
If it's not you (x4)

I've seen you holding hands with her
You told me it was over
I thought that you were just good friends
I've seen the way you hold her
Don't waste your time
She's not your type
I need to get my say in
She's been with all the boys I know
I know the games she's playing

But if I can't have you
I know what to do
I know where to go
To get over you
If it's not you (x4)

I've heard it all a million times please take me back I miss you
Still you don't seem to understand I've lost the will to kiss you
But still you'll take me in your arms
Send shivers down my spine
She's not afraid that nothings changed
She's not your ideal love now

But if I can't have you
I know what to do
I know where to go
To get over you
If it's not you (x4)

Who You're With

I see you standing over there
Why won't you come on over
The way things work seems so unfair
I'm drunk but you're still sober
I wasted time on silly things
I've never felt my own way
I used to dream of wedding rings
I never felt my own so

But if I can't have you
I know what to do 
I know where to go
To get over you
If it's not you (x4)

I've seen you holding hands with her
You told me it was over
I thought that you were just good friends
I've seen the way you hold her
Don't waste your time
She's not your type
I need to get my say in
She's been with all the boys I know
I know the games she's playing

But if I can't have you
I know what to do 
I know where to go
To get over you
If it's not you (x4)

I've heard it all a million times please take me back I miss you
Still you don't seem to understand I've lost the will to kiss you
But still you'll take me in your arms 
Send shivers down my spine
She's not afraid that nothings changed 
She's not your ideal love now

But if I can't have you
I know what to do 
I know where to go
To get over you
If it's not you (x4)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
