Nicknames

Here it is a new confession

You're a rather intelligent adolescent

And that's who you are I learned my lesson

I must not understand and just must be far too progressive

I never meant to be that way

I just wanted to be kind

Maybe I just think too much

It's only in my mind this time

Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was

Who you say you are is who you're not

And oh I tried you cried

I am not all you had thought

Who you say you are is who you're not

And I'll do my best my flesh

Is still gonna make mistakes

Who you say you are is who you're not

So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname

Who you say you are is who you're not

Here it is a new perspective

I'm listening but in fair warning it's rather subjective

Woah So unexpected

I know my friends but I'd rather bathe in my self-rejection

I never meant to be that way

But I know I am sometimes

Well maybe I just think too much

You were right it was only in my mind

Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was

Who you say you are is who you're not

And oh I've tried you cried

I am not all you had thought

Who you say you are is who you're not

And I'll do my best my flesh

Is still gonna make mistakes

Who you say you are is who you're not

So please forgive if it's really just some big nickname

Who you say you are is who you're not

At least I tried

Well at least I tried

At least I tried

Well at least I uh
