It’s Not Me

So you want somebody to free you

Somebody to make you feel like you’re not so alone

I can’t free you

If you think you’re alone who am I to try and change your mind

 

The person that you’re looking for

When you look into my eyes

The person you hold closer

When you’re sleeping nice at night

I don’t how to be them for you

You must know by now it’s not right

It’s not me

It’s not me

 

So you somebody to change you

Somebody to show you you’re not so wrong

But I can’t change you

I can’t change myself, to be something for you that I’m not

 

The person that you’re looking for

When you look into my eyes

The person you hold closer

When you’re sleeping nice at night

I don’t how to be them for you

You must know by now it’s not right

It’s not me

It’s not me

 

You need someone to fix you

You want someone to care more than I do

Show more than I show

I’m silent but I give a shit

But don’t expect to force my affection down your throat

For you to see it

It’s not me

Who’s gonna free you

It’s not me who’s gonna change you

It’s not me you’re looking for

 

The person that you’re looking for

When you look into my eyes

The person you hold closer

When you’re sleeping nice at night

I don’t how to be them for you

You must know by now it’s not right

It’s not me

It’s not me

Burning Out

I’ve thrown my fists in your face

I’ve hit the walls in my way

But I’m getting nowhere fighting everyone

I’ve swallowed my rage

Pointed fingers in your face

Time to step back and see I’ve been wrong

 

I’m sorry for lighting the world on fire

But these flames are bigger than I am, now

I need your thirst, all of our water

To save my soul from burning out

 

Oh I’ve been keeping my head

But something you said

Just made forget how to breathe

I’m sorry I’m quick,

To let the match hit the wick,

Please don’t give up on me yet

 

I’m sorry for lighting the world on fire

But these flames are bigger than I am, now

I need your thirst, all of our water

To save my soul from burning out

 

Cool me down

Drown me out

Don’t leave me alone to

Sit here in my anger

I’ll put out all the fires with my tears

Oh can’t I try it

I’m scorching everything I’ve ever loved

The silence is maddening

When I’m by myself

I have no one else to blame

 

I’m sorry for lighting the world on fire

But these flames are bigger than I am, now

I need your thirst, all of our water

To save my soul from burning out

F Word

I move mountains in my head

And I watch the sun go down

You were the best secret I’ve ever kept

But now your lights are out

No ones home where I followed you

There’s nobody to cry on

I put my faith in you

And you just put me on

 

The fear in my face should look familiar to you

Have you forgotten your own fate

The fear in my face should look familiar to you

Have you forgotten your own lessons

 

I squirm under all your pressure

And I scream when you go deaf

You were the best thing to the naked eye

But your potential has no depth

No one goes where I followed you

The dark alley of your mind

I kept my faith in you

And you kept the pieces of me I couldn’t find

 

The fear in my face should look familiar to you

Have you forgotten your own fate

The fear in my face should look familiar to you

Have you forgotten your own lessons

 

This isn’t a game you can play to win

I’m not a fool

I’ve just been playing one,

But it’s really always been you.

I’m not something you can bend and break

Into whatever you think you need today

I’ve tried to bend with you but even when I break away

 

The fear in my face should look familiar to you

Have you forgotten your own fate

The fear in my face should look familiar to you

Have you forgotten your own lessons

The Struggle

I could stand in the ashes my whole life

Look at my scars wonder what I could’ve said right

But that would be letting you win after letting you in

You took the door to the left when you were all I had left

 

If you don’t care, then why should I

Struggle with this monster inside

When I know you’re not, you don’t care, you don’t care

If you don’t care, then why should I

Force my words farther inside

To make you feel like it’s not your fault, you don’t care, you don’t care

 

You swear I’ve got in crosshairs

That I’m aiming to put you to bed here

But I’ve been the one who’s been laying down

I’ve never looked for more than peace, is that what I found?

 

If you don’t care, then why should I

Struggle with this monster inside

When I know you’re not, you don’t care, you don’t care

If you don’t care, then why should I

Force my words farther inside

To make you feel like it’s not your fault, you don’t care, you don’t care

 

It’s hard to look with stinging eyes

At what we built burn

For me it is, I guess maybe it’s different for you now

Isn’t that what you said?

That it’s just not the same,

I carry your blame wherever I go

But still I know…

 

You don’t care, so why should I

Struggle with this monster inside

But I know you

If you don’t care, then why should I

Struggle with this monster inside

When I know you’re not, you don’t care, you don’t care

If you don’t care, then why should I

Force my words farther inside

To make you feel like it’s not your fault, you don’t care, you don’t care
