Nicknames Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I never meant to be that way
I just wanted to be kind
Maybe I just think too much
It's only in my mind this time
[Chorus]
Oh I know I'm not everything you thought I was
(Who you say you are is who you're not)
And oh I 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)
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
At least I tried
Well at least I tried
At least I tried
Well at least I uh
