The Idea of Me

I cuff my jeans
Like I cuff my sleeves
And that's the most you'll ever
Understand about me
The things you're looking for
Are the things I'll never be
And I can't play the part
Of someone else's identity

So listen to me girl
You're just wasting precious time
You were meant for more
I can see it in your eyes
The more you put off leaving means
The more you're telling lies
To me and yourself because
You think you love what you despise

You think you know me so well
Who gave you the lowdown
Cuz I would never tell a stranger
Who I want to be
So go back to your home now
I think it's time I go now
Cuz I know on the inside
You don't like what you see

You just like the idea of me

Don't get me wrong
No I don't want to hurt you
I'm saving you from sharing
All the things that I've been through
Loving me is a rocky Road
You don't want to steer into
So dont turn the wheel
Just because I'm something new

You think you know me so well
Who gave you the lowdown
Cuz I would never tell a stranger
Who I want to be
So go back to your home now
I think it's time I go now
Cuz I know on the inside
You don't like what you see

You just like the idea of me

I'm gonna leave you heavy-hearted
That's a damn guarantee
I'm leaving you now
So you don't feel the sting
Of feeling all alone
In a world that will bring
Your knees the floor
And a hand reaching for a drink

You think you know me so well
Who gave you the lowdown
Cuz I would never tell a stranger
Who I want to be
So go back to your home now
I think it's time I go now
Cuz I know on the inside
You don't like what you see

You just like the idea of me
Oh the idea of me

I cuff my jeans
Like I cuff my sleeves
And that's the most you'll
Ever understand about me
