Here it is, a new confession

You′re a rather intelligent adolescent

And that's who you are, I learned my lessonI must not understand and just must be far too progressive

I never meant to be that way

I just wanted to be kind

Or 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′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

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)

At least I tried

Well at least I tried

At least I tried

Well at least I uh
