Not My Love

(album: Empire Theory - 2009)

I'll never be you
No matter how hard you spit
You're so excited
Oh, how intense and heated you get

They're laughing at you, dazed as you are
And you're making it so easy
Glazed over and cold
I-I wish your smile could see me

I want to be someone I admire
Not someone they require
It's not my love, oh no

Sure, you will tell me
Pathetic little man
You do it for yourself
And sure, you repel me
Don't touch me with that hand you use to make wealth
Don't touch me

They're laughing at you, dazed as you are
And you're making it so easy
Glazed over and cold
I-I wish your smile could see me

I want to be someone I admire
Not someone they require
It's not my love, oh no
Feed it to me
I don't belong here
You're not beautiful my dear
It's not my love, oh no

And don't be surprised
When your fire has died
And you can't seem to find a reason why
And it hurts when you smile
You're a parasite
And your mouth's run dry
There's nowhere to hide

I want to be someone I admire
Not someone they require
It's not my love, oh no
Feed it to me
I don't belong here
You're not beautiful my dear
It's not my love, oh no
