mnerva - i'm not you lyrics

i still hang on every word you say
i don’t wanna make you feel ashamed
you keep telling me what i should do
when you gonna see that i’m not you?

i don’t know how to say this but lately i’ve been stressed
’cause i don’t live at home but feel like i never left
we talk all the time but you make me second guess
every one of my decisions ’cause you think you know best
i get you’re tryna help cause you know i’ve been a mess
but i gotta make my own way if i’ma leave the nest
i’ve always been too focused on keeping you impressed
but if i don’t get your blessing will i lose your respect
i feel like i’ve been a disappointment ’cause i’ve been avoiding
the whole path that you laid out for me i’m not that person
that’s why i’ve been working ’cause i found my purpose
but i know that you don’t get it and that makes me nervous
so every time you call i’ve been putting up walls
’cause i still want you involved but don’t know how to solve
the distance growing between us ’cause you’re someone i trust
that’s why i f+cking care so much

i still hang on every word you say
i don’t wanna make you feel ashamed
you keep telling me what i should do
when you gonna see that i’m not you
all i wanna do is make you proud
but there’s stuff i gotta to figure out
you keep telling me what i should do
when you gonna see that i’m not you
no, i’m not you, i’m not you, i’m not you
when you gonna see that i’m not you?

i’m not you i’ve never been and i never will
but i wanna make you happy so i carry guilt
i know we’re built different but we look identical
and for my whole life i’ve put you on the highest pedestal
so every time you weigh in about my career it f+cking hurts
’cause i care bout your opinion the most

i know you hate it when i curse so i’m tryna be good
and you wish i didn’t rap so i’m singing the hook
but look this generation gap got me feeling helpless
we’re archie bunker and meathead and i don’t get the reference
yeah, i’m twenty something but i feel sixteen
’cause tryna prove you wrong is pushing me to wanna succeed
and you always told me to go and follow my dreams
so i’m sorry that they’re different than your vision for me
but i hope that in a decade we can sit on the porch
and then laugh about the days when i was poor

i still hang on every word you say
i don’t wanna make you feel ashamed
you keep telling me what i should do
when you gonna see that i’m not you
all i wanna do is make you proud
but there’s stuff i gotta to figure out
you keep telling me what i should do
when you gonna see that i’m not you
i’m not the person you want me to be and that k!lls me but now i got nothing to lose
’cause i don’t know what i’m doing but i know for sure that i don’t wanna turn into you

no, i’m not you, i’m not you, i’m not you
when you gonna see that i’m not you?
no, i’m not you, i’m not you, i’m not you
when you gonna see that i’m not you?
