Life Lessons - I Know What I'm Not lyrics

I've been trapped Under who I said I'd be for so long I got lost in always trying to be what I'm not I'm afraid That you want all that I'm not And you thought I'd change like I did before But I'm not the type to change anymore Only I could pick the flower Then damn it if it doesn't die Uproot the thing that I forgot to appreciate alive 'cause I can't hold it together When your tears start to melt Their way through cracks in your makeup I know I'm not what you wanted And if I am then you don't act like you know that And I know that So we break down You don't deserve to have to worry about If I'll be there when you need me But you'll still hear me out Don't you dare think I don't know how bad this hurts And don't you dare think I don't know who hurt who worse Don't trade your guard up for me ever getting through to your head Don't trade for problems and someone you'll wish you hated instead You'd be better off
