You try

You fail

You make a bad impression

I cry you bail

Sticky situation

I know

You know

If your infatuation

You stay

I'll go



[Chorus]

I am not the girl

You thought I would be

I will never be

So get over me

I am not the girl

I'm going to be

Nothing more to say



My wings, they grow

Call it evolution

Some things move slow

With determination

You ask

You cry

It's your desolation

You wonder why



I am not the girl

You thought I would be

I will never be

So get over me

I am not the girl

I'm going to be



(Why do I have to hear you say these things over and over)

You can't deal with trust

(How many times do I have to listen to you trying to make me be something that I'm not)

You can't handle me

(Why can't I do the things you want me to do)

(Why can't I talk the way you want me to talk)

(Well I'm tired of trying to make myself be what you want me to be)

I am me



I don't foresee any resolution

You won't agree

Unfavorable reception

I know I need out of this attrition

Do you hear me



I am not the girl

You thought I would be

I will never be

So get over me

I am not the girl

I'm going to be



(Why can't I do the things you want me to do)



I am not the girl

You thought I would be

I will never be

So get over me

I am not the girl

I'm going to be
