Not The One

Why can’t you just leave me alone, I don’t wanna talk
I wanna sit on my own, I don’t wanna walk
Don’t wanna laugh and smile and dance
Don’t wanna take a glance now
Why don’t you see that I won’t pretend to be someone
I couldn’t even spend a minute with
It seems I don’t fit in your perfect world

And you say you’d understand
But you cannot see
The writing in the sand, long worn away

You’re not the one I wanna cry for
You’re not the one I wanna die for
You wanna run, but I don’t see why
For you it’s begun, but I don’t have time for this

Why don’t you talk to someone else
I just wanna listen to my silence instead
And nothing would glisten
I'm tired of approval and feigned consent
Losing another fight
What if you change and what if you don’t
What if we were strangers and what if we weren’t
What if you would see yourself the way you see me

And you say you’d understand
But you cannot see
The writing in the sand, long worn away

I don’t have time for this
No time for this
