Lyrics

Nicknames

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.

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

Well maybe I just think too much

It's only in my mind this time

And 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)

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
