You Are Not Who I Thought I Was
Unveiling the Unseen: Deception in Love
Lyrics
You're not at all who I thought I was before
You are not the person I initially believed you to be
So who's the man standing on your bedroom floor?
Questioning the identity of the man in your bedroom
Calmly putting on his shoes
The man is calmly getting ready to leave
Softly shutting tight the door
Gently closing the door behind him
Crossing an ocean to be by the sea
Symbolizing a significant journey to be close to the sea
Leaving you behind cause he's leaving with me
Leaving the person behind to be with someone else
You are not who I thought
Reiteration that the person is not who was initially perceived
You are not who I thought I was when I met you
Reflecting on the changed perception since the first meeting
So who am I to you now?
Questioning the role and identity in the current situation
Who am I now that I cannot forget you?
Expressing the difficulty of forgetting the person
You are not who I thought I was
Reiteration of the realization that the person is not as thought
This guy's disguise, dressing to repress the core
Describing the deceptive appearance of the man
Whose are the feet tiptoeing across the floor?
Questioning the identity of the person moving quietly
Taking off his shirt and pants
The man undressing and preparing for intimacy
Sliding underneath the sheets
Getting into bed and engaging in an intimate act
Laying down the law of what dreams can be dreamed
Establishing the rules or expectations of shared dreams
I'm sound asleep while you're sleeping with him
The narrator is unaware, sleeping while the person is with someone else
You are not who I thought
Reiterating the changed perception of the person
You are not who I thought I was when I met you
Questioning one's identity in the context of the current relationship
So who am I to you now?
Pondering the role and significance in the eyes of the person
Who am I now that I cannot forget you?
Expressing the lingering impact of the person on the narrator
You are not who I thought I was
Reaffirming the realization that the person is not as initially perceived
I was
Reflection on one's past identity
Who I was
Emphasizing the contrast between the past and present self
I was
Repetition of the past identity
I was
Continued repetition, perhaps highlighting a sense of loss
Was
Repetition, possibly indicating a realization or acceptance
Was
Further repetition, suggesting introspection or contemplation
Oh, oh, oh, oh
An expressive interjection, possibly conveying emotion or realization
