can i be him

James Arthur

You walked into the room
And now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time
To when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
Cause a light came on when I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again

I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again
Could I be the one you talk
About in all your stories
Can I be him

I heard there was someone
But I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never
Let anyone hurt you
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
Cause a light came on
When I heard that song
And I want you to sing it again

I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again
Could I be the one you talk about
In all your stories

Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Oh, can I, can I be him

Won't you sing it again
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him
Won't you sing it again
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him

I swear that every word you sing
You wrote them for me
Like it was a private show
But I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there

Can I be the one you talk about
In all your stories
Can I be him
Can I be him
Can I be him
Can I be him
