Everything I'm Not Lyrics
Oh no
Don't go changing
That's what you told me from the start
Thought you where something different
That's when it all just fell apart
Like you're so perfect
And I can't measure up
Well I'm not perfect
Just all messed up
I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
It's not like I need somebody
Telling me where I should go at night
Don't worry you'll find somebody
Someone to tell how to live their life
Cause your so perfect
And no one measures up
Yeah all by yourself
You're all messed up
I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
Now wait a minute
Because of you
I never knew all the things that I had
Hey don't u get it
I'm not going anywhere with you tonight
Cause this is my life
I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
she was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
Don't go changing
That's what you told me from the start
Thought you where something different
That's when it all just fell apart
Like you're so perfect
And I can't measure up
Well I'm not perfect
Just all messed up
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
Telling me where I should go at night
Don't worry you'll find somebody
Someone to tell how to live their life
Cause your so perfect
And no one measures up
Yeah all by yourself
You're all messed up
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
Because of you
I never knew all the things that I had
Hey don't u get it
I'm not going anywhere with you tonight
Cause this is my life
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
she was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not

good song but yeah it IS deff cliche
so there definitely wasnt another girl thats just like a symbol thing the guy just wanted her to be something she wasnt he wasnt cheating on her or anything, just wanted to change her
thats what i think.
Actually, when I heard this song I didn't think the "girl that he wanted" was actually another girl. It was who he wanted his current girlfriend to be. Like when it says "I was loosing myself to somebody else" she wasn't being the true her, she was just trying to impress her boyfriend. That's just what I thought anyway.
It's like it's singing about my ex, ha. She is saying she wanted to be with him, but he was making her change into who he wanted to be with. A girl came in the picture, she notices and that is the end. She knows that girl won't have to change for him to love her. She is already who he wants. So she just moves on.
I first interpreted this as someone who's boyfriend starts to fall for someone else and then the girl is sick of him swooning after her. I guess him trying to change her makes more sense though.
Ok can I just say the lyrics in the first verse are wrong. It's "well I'm not perfect, just all messed up". Not "all stuffed" as written. But yeah pretty obvious what this song is about - a girl telling her ex how much of a dick he was. He was trying to change after he said he loved her how she was, and he wanted another girl who was everything she wasn't but he wanted her to be. Reminds me SO MUCH of my recent ex.
"Well I'm not perfect, just only stuffed" ???? Dewd you got that lyric so wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's "Well I'm not perfect, just all messed up". It also cracks me up how people writing into this site saying "omg it sooooooooooooooo relates to my relationship with my bestfriends brothers friends cousins sisters friend" geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
Great song. Rising talent these girls are. My interpretation is her boyfriend was trying to turn into something she isn't, and change her...and she's had enough of it and breaking up with him.
^you took the words right out of my mouth...well, fingers...
very sad song when u look at it in a sense ntry to relate to it.... SH eis just hurt that she wa snever noticed and the one her guy wanted was everything she wasnt to him sooo hmm
can so relate to this song recent break up
