Lyrics

They say you're the pretty girl

People describe you as an attractive girl

That everybody wants you

Everyone desires you

It's just something that I heard

Rumors circulate about you, but I doubt their accuracy

But i know that just ain't true

I believe those rumors are false

A frame hangs around your world

Your perspective is limited to what you want to see

You see just what you want to

You are selective in perceiving the world

A shell around their favorite pearl

Others perceive you as precious and protect you

You think you know

You are confident, but...

You know i don't look your way

I don't pay attention to you

Still you think I can be changed

Despite that, you believe I can be influenced or changed

But i will never feel the same

I will remain unchanged and won't feel the same way as you

You know, you know

Reiteration of the previous point

You don't seem to get it at all

You don't understand my perspective

If you keep getting what you want

If you continue to get what you desire...

Ain't nothing gonna keep you calm

...you won't find peace or tranquility

You don't know, don't know

You lack awareness

I'm living on the subway road

I live a challenging and gritty life

You're living on the surface

You live a more superficial and comfortable life

You say coming down is possible

You suggest that change is possible

But baby it ain't worth it

But it's not worth the effort or consequences

You see me as an animal

You perceive me as wild or untamed

You ask what's behind the curtain

You inquire about the hidden aspects of my life

With me you'd still feel alone

If you were with me, you'd still feel isolated

Cuz you don't know

You lack understanding

You know i don't look your way

I continue to ignore your presence

Still you think I can be changed

You persist in thinking I can be swayed

But i will never feel the same

But my feelings won't change

You know, you know

Reiteration of the previous point

You don't seem to get it at all

You fail to comprehend my perspective

If you keep getting what you want

If you continue to pursue your desires...

Ain't nothing gonna keep you calm

...you won't find inner peace or tranquility

You don't know, don't know

You lack awareness
