Who I Say I Am

[Verse 1]
Wait, this is all such a mess
And I don’t want you to confess
Anything unideal
When the veins are better concealed
Stolen map; rest assured
You won’t find what you’re looking for
Draw some lines in the sand
‘Cause I’m not who I say I am

[Chorus]
I am lost, I’m a liar
Selling truth as I work to conspire
For your heart I will deceive
With every word that you want to believe
As a queen is a pawn
As a quest is a con
I’m not good, I’m not bad
But I’m not who I say I am

[Verse 2]
Wait out of line, unprepared
Wondering how you ended up here
You should learn to forget
And unburn your last cigarettе
Call it fear, call it fey
Knowing now it’s bettеr this way
Broken keys; rest assured
You won’t find who opens the door

[Pre-Chorus]
You can search every crack in the mirror
And wonder how I could be so insincere
But I hope that you’ll understand
That I’m not who I say I am

[Chorus]
I am lost, I’m a liar
Selling truth as I work to conspire
For your heart I will deceive
With every last word that you want to believe
As a vice, as a sin
As a light to be dimmed

[Pre-Chorus]
Playing shadows that dance on the wall
But if you look close you’ll see nothing at all
So you really shouldn’t take my hand
Because I am not who I say I am

[Chorus]
All I wanted was love
But I can’t make the cells open up
Something’s wrong inside my brain
Faking the feelings that I can’t sustain
You can pull back the skin
But I promise I won’t let you in

[Chorus]
I am lost, I’m a child
Selling youth as I work to conspire
And your heart I will betray
With every last word that you’ll beg me to say
Every queen is a pawn
Every conquest a con
I’m not good, I’m not bad
But I am not who I say I am
