Not Me

by Monica Rabino

So what's the deal?
Are you playing with me?
And I feel
That everyone around
Is getting on you and me
And this jealousy is taking over
Unexpectedly

Hey, little girl,
You want to  take over the world
But you can't see
LIttle ole me
On your way to growth and freedom
That's grown beyond its means
To let go

And I believe
It may not be exactly
What you want to see
And that's not me
It's not me

Whether I stand so close
Or watch you from afar
I want to be a guiding star
Somewhere in your story
But constantly feeling fear
That I'm taken by and taking your glory
Away

CHORUS

And I've fallen into
Something I can't control
And I've taken the idea of you
To possess your soul
And I'm sorry, honey,
But it's no one's fault but mine
I need to let go
Cause it's not me
It's not me

And I've forgiven
Everything that you wanted me
To believe in
That's not me

CHORUS

Now is the time
To embrace you
And take heaven from your mind
