Lyrics
You ain't nothing like the book I'm reading now
You are not like the book I'm currently reading.
'Cause every time I turn a page I can't put you down
Every time I read further, I find it hard to stop thinking about you.
In my pocket when I walk around but baby please don't make a sound
I carry thoughts of you with me, but I want you to remain silent.
I'll call you when I want you to
I will reach out to you when I feel the need.
And I'm just listening to your voice each time you talk
I find comfort in listening to your voice.
'Cause I won't let your story speak a single law
I won't let your past mistakes define you.
I dress you up, I'll write your history
I will shape your image and narrate your history.
Make you tell your friends you miss me when I'm gone
I want your friends to believe you miss me when I'm not around.
But you don't wear those clothes
You don't conform to societal expectations.
And you just ain't nothing but a voice I chose
You are merely a chosen voice without a physical presence.
So I think I'll leave you blowing smoke rings out your window
I may leave you to create illusions rather than facing reality.
'Cause it's me I'm searching for
I am searching for myself, not you.
Burning teeth, I'm pointing pistols at my chest cause I can't breathe
I am under intense pressure, feeling suffocated, possibly contemplating self-harm.
And I might be tricking you but girl I sure ain't tricking me
I may be deceiving you, but I am not deceiving myself.
And this is something I should see through because I need to
There's a situation I should see through, confronting the truth.
Is there more to you than me?
Is there more to your identity than my perception of you?
[chorus]
[Chorus]
It ain't you and it ain't me
Our problems are not solely yours or mine.
Well it's nothing but the papers bens and fashion magazines
The issues stem from societal expectations and influences.
It ain't you
It's not about you.
And it ain't me
It's not about me.
Well it's nothing but the papers, pens, and fashion
The problems are related to media, societal norms, and trends.
I poured a generous ration in my glass
I indulge in alcohol, using it as a coping mechanism.
You're the match and it's nothing but the gasoline
You are the catalyst, and our relationship is like gasoline.
If you don't tell me I won't hear you
If you don't express yourself, I won't understand you.
If you don't ask I'll never know
If you don't ask, I'll remain unaware of your thoughts.
So for now let's both pretend to
Let's pretend for now, but the relationship won't flourish without honesty.
But it sure ain't gonna grow
The relationship won't grow without genuine communication.
