She’s Not Him Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wanna start by saying thank you
I'm gonna miss ya, honey
You gave me things I can’t buy back with money
You changed my life
You've been my world
There's no other girl that looks like ya, darling
Those eyes, that tongue, those teeth, that face, that body
Even though we’ve gone to outer space
Still no way you can take his place

[Chorus]
You're not him (No)
Yeah, she's not him
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I just can't fall in love with you
'Cause you're not him (No)
Yeah, she's not him

[Verse 2]
And why, why can't I love you, baby?
Like I wanna love you, baby
I’m sorry
And maybe it’s beyond my control
Some sort of chemical reaction
Making it impossible to let him go
[Chorus]
You're not him
She’s not him
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I just can't fall in love with you
'Cause you're not him
Yeah, she’s not him

[Bridge]
And you don't deserve
All the bullshit I've put you through
And you, you deserve
A heart much bigger than one that's torn in two
Oh, oh

[Chorus 2]
You're not him (Whoa)
She's not him
Every time you walk through my door
I swear to God you're more beautiful than before
But you're not him
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I just can't fall in love with you
'Cause you're not him
Yeah, she's not him

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

When Miley went live on instagram during her Album Release Party, she said that she wrote this song because she wanted to normalize bisexuality.

“She’s Not Him” takes an approach to pansexual love in a way that has yet to appear in mainstream music. In this song, her eventual return to a man does not negate her relationship with a woman.

Fans have suggested that the song is about Stella Maxwell, with whom Cyrus was rumored to be in a brief casual relationship with back in 2015. Previously, Miley opened up about her pansexuality in a Billboard cover story, and an interview with Variety.
