lyrics

I hear it in your voice
I turn a blind eye
It’s easier to ignore what you say

I see it in your mind’s eye
You’re keeping it in
It’s hard to watch you suffocate

Oh Isn’t it funny?
You can say what you say
But I’m left to find my own way

Can you tell me what you told them?
I’ve been feeling left out
It’s hard to not let this get to me

You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are

Your body told me something
Your mind made up the rest
It’s too late to resist

Turn me inside out
It’s like you made this up
This is not what we’ve got

To hold is not to keep
You made sure I’d see
What we thought we’d be

I heard it in your voice
I turned a blind eye
It’s better to ignore what you say

You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are

Oh I’ve looked inside
You kept your heart open wide
Without any room for yourself
Oh I’ve seen inside
There’s nothing left to hide
You laid it all to rest

You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are
You are not what you say you are
