I'm Not The Only One
Jessi & Cheetah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
Till the sunlight has touched your face
Her smile told of no night
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun
And then one winter day
His hand led her away
She left you here drowning in your tears, here
Where you've stayed for years
Crying Lisa, Lisa
I'm not Lisa
My name is Julie
Lisa left you years ago
My eyes are not blue
But mine won't leave you
Till the sunlight shine through your face
I'm not Lisa
The song I'm Not The Only One, performed by Jessi and Cheetah, contains lyrics that explore the complexities of a love triangle. The opening lines reveal the singer's name is Julie, not Lisa, implying that she is not the person the subject of the song is pining for. Lisa is a woman who left the subject years ago, but the pain of her departure still lingers.
Julie expresses sympathy for the subject, recognizing the weight of his heartbreak. She acknowledges that her eyes are not blue, referencing Lisa's physical features, but promises to remain by his side until he can find joy and the sunlight can touch his face. The lyrics suggest that Lisa was an important part of the subject's life, a "morning light" whose smile brought him joy. He loved her deeply, and with each sunrise, his feelings grew stronger. However, abruptly, Lisa left him, leaving him to mourn and cry for years.
Julie offers a form of solace for the subject in the song, but she cannot replace what Lisa meant to him. The song highlights the pain of loving someone who is no longer present, and the complexities of moving on from that love. The lyrics are beautifully written, exploring the nuances of the human heart and the lingering feelings that can remain long after someone has left.

I'm Not Lisa
I'm a different person than the one you lost
My name is Julie
I have my own identity
Lisa left you years ago
The person you loved is gone and it's been a while
My eyes are not blue
My physical appearance is different
But mine won't leave you
I'm not going anywhere
Till the sunlight has touched your face
Until you find happiness again
She was your morning light
Lisa brought light into your life
Her smile told of no night
She always seemed happy to be with you
Your love for her grew
You loved her more and more
With each rising sun
Every day brought more love for her
And then one winter day
One day when it was cold and dark
His hand led her away
Someone else took her from you
She left you here drowning in your tears, here
You were heartbroken and alone
Where you've stayed for years
You've been stuck in your grief for a long time
Crying Lisa, Lisa
You've been calling her name in your sorrow

@TheFlowerkisser
lol I find it funny that the three people who advanced to the final are literally the only group of ppl who can tolerate and genuinely admire each other.. and more importantly Cheetah and Jidam are the only 2 ppl who's never get on Jessi's nerve
