This Isn't You Lyrics

Everyone that I used to know is either dead or living alone
And I know that it’s even worse than what they said
I count the hours til the day is done
The time away is never enough to enjoy this
Truth of my youth

I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, just say that it’s you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you

All the solo nights that I can’t forget
Take another shot to drown them out
It’s so sad, and it’s just not right
All this fighting isn’t any good, just like the hearts that we should have took
And I know who I used to be

I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, just say that it’s you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you

I know that this isn’t you
I know that this isn’t you

I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, just say that it’s you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you

Everyone that I used to know is either dead or living alone
And I know that it’s even worse than what they said
I count the hours til the day is done
The time away is never enough to enjoy this
Truth of my youth

I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, just say that it’s you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you

All the solo nights that I can’t forget
Take another shot to drown them out
It’s so sad, and it’s just not right
All this fighting isn’t any good, just like the hearts that we should have took
And I know who I used to be

I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, just say that it’s you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you

I know that this isn’t you
I know that this isn’t you

I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, just say that it’s you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you
I didn’t know what to expect from you
Don’t say it’s true, I know that this isn’t you

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.
