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
