Not Me (I Don't Get It)

(album: Michael - 2019)

I have so much stuff to say and I've got no time to say it
I am finding other ways and I don't need you to "OK" it
When you're living life each day do you always need to pay it?
Why do we work away our lives?
Why don't we ever try to save it?
I don't get it
Why do I need a permit?
Why do I need to worry about if I'm fit or unfit?
Every time that I wake up and I put on an outfit
I just pick out the flaws I see and dig a bigger pit to lay in

I just don't get it
No, I don't get it
I never get it
No

Forcing the ones you love is going to get you nowhere
Speaking from the heart is the only way to repair
And I don't care what emotion lies beneath the surface
If you're going to love each other just let it be of purpose
I know, yeah I know all about it
I know what its like to lose it all and live without it
And if every single moment that I live isn't good enough for you
I do wish you the best because being miserable is not me

No, it's not me
I told them from the start it's not me
And I'll tell them from my heart it's not me
No, it's not me
Oh

Aging isn't scary but for me it's weird to think of
Where's the magical book of secrets to breathe in and drink up?
I'm just trying to find my way, like a confused adult should
And I'd hate to leave this earth being misunderstood

I don't get it
No I don't get
I never get it
I guess I'll never get it

Why can't I sit at the window looking out than being out there?
Is it possible to be tall and still jealous you're not down there?
Is the world about to end?
Could we blow up at any moment?
I'm a speck of dust inside this world and people ought to know it
Please know it
Every day I don't have to show it
Bounce your shit right off you and on to me, you didn't know it
You didn't even know it
Be honest with yourselves
And look at the world around you
Don't rush to grow up
Love yourself, and everyone around you
Take this as a lesson, if you are confused
The world is so much better without the abuse

I know it, yeah I know it
We all have the ability we just don't know how to show it
And possibly everyone around you is asleep
But not me, not me
