Lyrics
Everyone thinks they know me
People believe they have an understanding of who I am
They think they comprehend
They feel they grasp the full extent of my character
Wake up and smell the coffee
Realize the truth of the situation
I am not that innocent
I'm not as pure or innocent as they assume
Everybody tells me
Everyone advises me
That I should not believe
They caution me not to trust
You're more than smoke and mirrors
There's more to you than just an illusion
But I am not that naive
But I'm not as gullible as they believe
No, no, no
Expressing denial
I'm no angel, I'm no angel
Rejecting the idea of being an angel
No, no, no
Reiterating the denial of being an angel
I'm no angel, anymore
Emphasizing not embodying angelic traits anymore
This is now, this is me
Present moment, authentic self
I'm no angel, baby
Affirmation of not being angelic
This is now, this is me
Reaffirming current identity
I'm breaking free
Expressing liberation
Everyone says I'm falling
Others perceive me as failing
But they don't understand
They lack comprehension of my situation
I'm tired of choosing right from wrong
I'm tired of making moral choices
I'm not that innocent
I'm not as innocent as they assume
Everybody tells me
Everyone advises me
I'm bound to be deceived
They predict I'll be misled
But I don't need protection
I don't require safeguarding
'Cause I am not that naive
I'm not as easily fooled as they think
