It's Not Me (But It Is)

 

Verse 1
I opened the door
I let you see me
For a moment
It felt easy
Then it broke

Verse 2
It’s not all mine
But I’m the one left
Hanging on
By my fingers

Chorus
It’s not me, but it is
The mirror says so
Patterns repeat
I trust, I get dropped
The same wound
From the same cut
It’s not me, but it is

Verse 3
Maybe I need too much
Or maybe I just believe
Someone could want me
As I am

Bridge
I know the reasons
But it doesn’t matter
Frankly
It just makes me sadder

Chorus
It’s not me, but it is
The mirror says so
Patterns repeat
I trust, I get dropped
The same wound
From the same cut
It’s not me, but it is

Outro
So if you come knocking
And I barely open
It’s not that I don’t want to
It’s that I’m broken
It’s not me, but it is
