Lyrics
I know it isn't right to break your heart
I acknowledge that breaking your heart is not morally right.
I know it isn't fair to tear you apart
I understand that tearing you apart is not fair.
I know it isn't like the fairy tales
I recognize that our situation doesn't conform to traditional fairy tales.
But I'm unladylike
I'm aware that my behavior is not considered ladylike.
So what?
I embrace my unladylike nature without apology.
I know I should behave the way you want
I acknowledge the expectation to conform to certain behavioral norms.
I know that I should do the things I don't
I know I should do things I currently avoid.
I know that I should want to be like her
I understand the pressure to conform and be like someone else.
But I know that I can't
I am aware of my limitations in trying to be someone I am not.
So there
I assert my refusal to conform with a defiant attitude.
You knew all along
You were aware from the beginning that I am different.
That I wasn't like that
I am not like the stereotypical expectations you may have.
Not like the other girls
I am unlike other girls in conventional terms.
Unlike anyone of this world
I am unique and not bound by the norms of this world.
And you used to like that
You used to appreciate and enjoy my uniqueness.
So what you runnin' from?
I question why you are trying to distance yourself.
You fell in love with an alien
You fell in love with someone who is fundamentally different.
I know it might be hard to understand
I understand that it might be challenging for you to comprehend.
I know I don't fit in to all your plans
I acknowledge that I may not align with all your plans.
But I remember nights so long ago
I reminisce about nights when our differences were not a problem.
You couldn't get enough, oh, no
You were once deeply attracted and couldn't get enough of me.
You knew all along
Reiteration of your awareness of my uniqueness.
That I wasn't like that
I am not conforming to societal expectations of girls.
Not like the other girls
I stand out, unlike other girls who fit conventional norms.
Unlike anyone of this world
I am distinct and unlike anyone in this world.
And you used to like that
You used to appreciate and enjoy my uniqueness.
So what you runnin' from?
Questioning why you are avoiding or distancing yourself.
You fell in love with an alien
Reminding you that you fell in love with someone unique.
No, it isn't right to break your heart
Reiteration of the acknowledgment that breaking your heart is not right.
I know it isn't fair to tear you apart
Reiteration of the understanding that tearing you apart is not fair.
You knew all along
Reiteration of your awareness of my uniqueness.
That I wasn't like that
I continue to stand out and not conform to expectations.
Not like the other girls
I am different from other girls, not adhering to conventional norms.
Unlike anyone of this world
I remain unlike anyone in this world, embracing my uniqueness.
And you used to like that
Reiteration that you used to appreciate and enjoy my uniqueness.
So what you runnin' from?
Questioning why there is a desire to distance yourself from me.
I know it isn't right to break your heart
Reiteration of the acknowledgment that breaking your heart is not right.
I know it isn't fair to tear you apart
Reiteration of the understanding that tearing you apart is not fair.
