that's not you

(album: why can't we just pretend? - 2022)

How long's it been?
I don't know
Is this your friend?

I won't say I
Told you so
I'll let it go

I didn't know that you were waiting
You said that you would never have me changing
Oh but you wanted something different, though
Different chemicals, very basic

Is that what you wanted?
Something new
Is that what you needed?
Someone who doesn't know you

Is that what you wanted?
Skinny jeans
Is that what you wanted?
That's not me

Wish I'd seen it then
Back when we were friends
I could read my lines
But they were never mine

2 months ago, time flies
And off you go, not surprised
I don't like to second guess
Wish I cared less

I guess you never liked the staging
I guess I overlooked your strongest craving
You wanted front and center got your wish
You're a hot topic
Baby tell me this

Is that what you wanted?
Something new
Is that what you needed?
Someone who doesn't know you

Is that what you wanted?
Skinny jeans
Is that what you wanted?
That's not me

Wish I'd seen it then
Back when we were friends
I could read my lines
But they were never mine
But they were never mine
