The One You Say I Am

Текст песни

[Verse 1] You found my name in somebody’s notebook Turned one hello into a headline You tell your friends that I’m already taken But I never gave you that sign [Pre-Chorus] Don’t put my words in your mouth Don’t build a story around me I’m drawing a clear line now Listen carefully [Chorus] I’m not the one you say I am Don’t call it love when I never agreed You can point at me across the room But your version isn’t my reality I’m not the one you say I am Let the rumor fall where it began You may want a promise from me But I won’t wear a name you planned [Verse 2] You leave a message, then wait by the doorway Counting every car that passes by I keep explaining, you keep rearranging Every answer into another lie [Pre-Chorus] Don’t put my words in your mouth Don’t build a story around me I’m drawing a clear line now Listen carefully [Chorus] I’m not the one you say I am Don’t call it love when I never agreed You can point at me across the room But your version isn’t my reality I’m not the one you say I am Let the rumor fall where it began You may want a promise from me But I won’t wear a name you planned [Bridge] Take back the picture you painted Take back the future you named A feeling can’t make a contract And blame can’t make me stay [Final Chorus] I’m not the one you say I am Don’t call it love when I never agreed You can point at me across the room But your version isn’t my reality I’m not the one you say I am Let the rumor fall where it began You may want a promise from me But I won’t wear a name you planned [Outro] No, I won’t wear a name you planned No, I’m not the one you say I am
