Would you tell me I'm different
If I choose to be who I'm meant
Would you tell me I'm difficult
Cause I refuse to fall in step
With your expectations what did you expect
me to kindly agree to your request
I don't think you know what you're dealing with
Are you hearing this
And I hate to be the one
to break it down to you
but your lies are wearing thin
I thought you ought to know this too
And it's getting old, as time's retold
on you I can't rely
so here's to goodbye
And I know I've been wrong
to this I'll admit
But at least I try
quite unlike the way you shed the blame
on anyone, close enough
well I've finally had enough
and no I'm not the same
As your expectations what did you expect
me to kindly agree to your request
I don't think you know what you're dealing with
Are you hearing this
And I hate to be the one
to break it down to you
but your lies are wearing thin
I thought you ought to know this too
And it's getting old, as time's retold
on you I can't rely
so here's to goodbye
And I know it all comes down
to where you've been and how you think I'll fall
But compared to you
I can never lose at all
And I hate to be the one
to break it down to you
but your lies have come undone
your broken lines I see right through
And it's getting old, as time's retold
on you I can't rely
so here's to goodbye
