not the one - Radio Edit
Snide remarks between sips of wine
Knuckles white, daggers in your eyes
Count down the minutes till this nightmare's over
Shattered glass scattered on the floor
I'm sitting here, staring at the door
Wishing that someone would bust it right open
Guilt-tripping me into staying
But this time, I'm walking away
So, yell and scream
I know I've done all I can
Just let me bleed
I won't give you an apology
I'm not the woman you want me to be
Settled down for the security
Passion turned to codependency
My biggest crime was to want to be wanted
Said I wasted 5 years of your life
I hope you go and find a better wife
Who takes your name and bears your children
Splitting the pennies we saved
Won't make up for the mess we have made
So, yell and scream
I know I've done all I can
Just let me bleed
I won't give you an apology
I'm not the woman
And I'd burn this house, oh
Down to the ground
Just to erase the memory of you
And I won't go, oh
To your funeral
'Cause then they would all know truth
And that would hurt me, too
So, yell and scream
I know I've done all I can
Just let me bleed
I won't give you an apology
I'm not the woman you want me to be
Oh, I'm not the one
Oh, I'm not the one
I'm not the woman you want me to be
Oh, I'm not the one
Oh, I'm not the one
I'm just me
Knuckles white, daggers in your eyes
Count down the minutes till this nightmare's over
Shattered glass scattered on the floor
I'm sitting here, staring at the door
Wishing that someone would bust it right open
Guilt-tripping me into staying
But this time, I'm walking away
So, yell and scream
I know I've done all I can
Just let me bleed
I won't give you an apology
I'm not the woman you want me to be
Settled down for the security
Passion turned to codependency
My biggest crime was to want to be wanted
Said I wasted 5 years of your life
I hope you go and find a better wife
Who takes your name and bears your children
Splitting the pennies we saved
Won't make up for the mess we have made
So, yell and scream
I know I've done all I can
Just let me bleed
I won't give you an apology
I'm not the woman
And I'd burn this house, oh
Down to the ground
Just to erase the memory of you
And I won't go, oh
To your funeral
'Cause then they would all know truth
And that would hurt me, too
So, yell and scream
I know I've done all I can
Just let me bleed
I won't give you an apology
I'm not the woman you want me to be
Oh, I'm not the one
Oh, I'm not the one
I'm not the woman you want me to be
Oh, I'm not the one
Oh, I'm not the one
I'm just me
