Embracing Change: Breaking the Mold and Finding Self-Identity
Lyrics
Idontwannabeyouanymore
The singer expresses a desire not to be someone else anymore.
Don't be that way
An encouragement not to behave negatively.
Fall apart twice a day
The person falls apart emotionally twice a day.
I just wish you could feel what you say
Wishing the person could genuinely feel and understand their own words.
Show, never tell
Advocating for actions rather than just words.
But I know you too well
Despite not showing, the singer knows the person well.
Got a mood that you wish you could sell
Describing a mood the person wishes to hide or change.
If teardrops could be bottled
Imagining if tears could be collected.
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Envisioning pools filled with tears shed by models.
Told "a tight dress is what makes you a whore"
Referencing societal judgments on appearance.
If "I love you" was a promise
Raising a question about the sincerity of love promises.
Would you break it, if you're honest?
Asking if the promise of love would be broken when honesty is involved.
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
Addressing the act of repeating self-critical thoughts to the mirror.
I don't wanna be you, anymore
Reiterating the desire not to be the person in question.
Hand, hands getting cold
Noticing that hands are getting cold, possibly metaphorical for emotional detachment.
Losing feeling is getting old
Expressing weariness with losing the ability to feel emotions.
Was I made from a broken mold?
Questioning one's origin and self-worth, possibly feeling broken.
Hurt, I can't shake
Stating difficulty in overcoming emotional pain.
We've made every mistake
Acknowledging past mistakes in the relationship.
Only you know the way that I break
Only the person understands how the singer breaks emotionally.
If teardrops could be bottled
Repeating the image of collecting tears in bottles.
There'd be swimming pools filled by models
Extending the metaphor of tears filling pools, emphasizing emotional depth.
Told "a tight dress is what makes you a whore"
Reiterating societal judgments on appearance.
If "I love you" was a promise
Raising a question about the sincerity of love promises.
Would you break it, if you're honest?
Asking if the promise of love would be broken when honesty is involved.
Tell the mirror what you know she's heard before
Addressing the act of repeating self-critical thoughts to the mirror.
I-I don't wanna be you
Declaring the singer's unwillingness to be the person in question.
I don't wanna be you
Repeating the declaration of not wanting to be the person.
I don't wanna be you, anymore
Affirming the singer's continued desire not to be the person.
