That's Not Me - Mono

I had to prove that I could
Make it alone now, but that's not me
I wanted to show how
Independent I'd grown now, but that's not me

I could try to be big
In the eyes of the world
What matters to me is
What I could be to just one girl

I'm a little bit scared
'Cause I haven't been home in a long time
You needed my love
And I know that I left at the wrong time

My folks when I wrote them
Told 'em what I was up to, said, "That's not me"
I went through all kinds of changes
Took a look at myself and said, "That's not me"

I miss my pad
And the places I've known
And every night as I lay there alone
I will dream

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out
That my lonely life wasn't so pretty
I'm glad I went
Now, I'm that much more sure that we're ready

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out
That my lonely life wasn't so pretty

I once had a dream
So I packed up and split for the city
I soon found out
That my lonely life wasn't so pretty
