Center of attention once again They don't understand They don't understand, no Then they try to tell me who I am They don't understand They don't understand, no
You want a perfect picture to believe in Then you can't be looking for me then
I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me And I know, I know, I know you don't like it You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been It's my life so truth be told (I see you thinking but there's just one thing, dear And you think you know but you don't have no idea Think you know me but there's more to see my love)
Same arguments time and time again And you watched them all happen But they don't understand, no Thinkin' you're the reason that it ends And he won't be back again But they don't understand, no
You want a perfect picture to believe in Then you can't be looking for me then
I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me And I know, I know, I know you don't like it You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been It's my life so truth be told You don't know me
The girl you see in photographs is only A part of the one I am, don't judge me 'Cause that's not reality and all I can be Is in love with who I'm becoming
(Think you know me but there's more to see my love You think you know but you don't have no idea)
I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me And I know, I know, I know you don't like it You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been It's my life so truth be told (I see you thinking) You don't know me
I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me And I know, I know, I know you don't like it You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been It's my life so truth be told (I see you thinking but there's just one thing, dear And you think you know but you don't have no idea Think you know me but there's more to see my love, my love)
