The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I am not what you want

There's no telling how long

I am not what you want

There's no telling how long I'll be here

I am not what you want X3

There's no telling how long

I've checked

I've checked to find

I've checked

I've checked to find

I am not for you one

There's no telling how long

Go figure that out

Figure that out

I am not what you want X6

I've checked

I've checked to find

I am not what you want X5

There's no telling how long I'll be here

I am not what you want

There's no eyes in your own head

I'll check

I'll check tonight

I am not what you want

There's no telling how long I'll be here

I am not what you want

There's no eyes in your head

In your head

At least I cannot see them

In your head

I'm not what you want

I'll get

Nothing X3

Tonight

I'm not what you want

There's no telling how long I'll be here

Be here

At least I cannot see them
