It's not what you think it is
I promised I wouldn't tell any more lies this year
I stopped sleeping in
I started a list of all my daily sins
I stopped giving in
I'm doing my best not to run my mouth again
I started listening
But it's not what you think it is
Salesmen say
"I'm mr. intention, I think about it too much"
You gotta find out what it is
It's not what you think it is
You're biting your lips with every word I sing
And you want none of it
(It's not what you think it is)
If I had a choice, I'd give up everything
But it's not for myself
(It's not what you think it is)
Cause I don't know a damn thing about myself
I'll stop holding in
(It's not what you think it is)
But it's not what you think it is
Salesmen say
"I'm mr. intention, I think about it too much"
You gotta find out what it is
It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is
It's not what you think it is
I promised I wouldn't tell any more lies and I broke that promise, but I don't know why
Is it growing pains?
Are you on my side?
Am I in your heart?
Are you in my mind?
Well I'm sorry my dear, that I can't disguise
We're consumed by fear, but I trust your eyes
It ain't sincere, but it ain't a lie
I know that I'm alive, baby, cause I can feel you breathing
I don't wanna die, no, I don't wanna die like I did when I was 16
Looking for signs
I created a monster and I try, and I try to collect all the pieces that he leave behind
And I won't give up now, cause you're waiting outside
I promised that I wouldn't tell any more lies, and its not what you think it is
