Lyrics
You don't know me like you think you do, no
You believe you understand me, but your perception is inaccurate.
Yeah, and I don't fit the mold you wanna force me into
I don't conform to the expectations you try to impose on me.
That's for sure
Emphasizing the certainty that the previous statement is true.
You can catch me in the dark of night getting my whole life
I enjoy myself during the nighttime, embracing life fully.
Underneath the sapphire sky
Engaging in life experiences beneath the deep blue sky.
Your perception of me is so untrue
Your perception of me is far from the truth.
What can I do?
Expressing helplessness in changing the distorted perception.
And now I found myself at the edge of my sanity
Feeling close to the limit of mental stability.
Lyin', I hold myself back, look at it the other way
Admitting self-restraint and a different perspective on a situation.
Please, don't come 'round here talkin' 'bout what's best for me
Requesting not to advise on what's best, as it was discussed recently.
When I told you just the other day, just the other day, baby
Recalling a recent conversation where preferences were communicated.
You don't know me like you think you do
Reiterating that understanding is lacking.
Head hung low just like you owe me an apology
Feeling a sense of apology is owed, with head held low.
Something tells me you ain't gonna say no
Suspecting that the apology won't be forthcoming.
How can you? Tonight you really won the lottery
Commenting on a fortunate event, perhaps sarcastically.
Afterparty with the lights turned low
Describing a celebration with dimmed lights after the fortunate event.
Everybody wants to live by the philosophy
Reflecting on societal ideals that everyone wishes to follow.
This is something, this is something
Emphasizing that the situation is significant.
And you can blame it on society
Attributing actions to societal influence while acknowledging it.
But grew up in a generation of variety
Acknowledging a diverse upbringing in a generation of choices.
And now I found myself at the edge of my sanity
Repetition of the feeling of approaching mental instability.
Lyin', I hold myself back, look at it the other way
Reiterating self-restraint and a different perspective on a situation.
Please, don't come 'round here talkin' 'bout what's best for me
Requesting not to advise on what's best, echoing a recent conversation.
When I told you just the other day, just the other day
Recalling a recent conversation where preferences were communicated.
You don't know me like you think you do
Reiterating that understanding is lacking.
