Words to the song “Everything I’m Not” by The Veronicas

Everything I’m Not

Lyrics ©The Veronicas*

Oh no, don’t go changing
That’s what you told me from the start.
Thought you were 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.
Cuz the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart.
Cuz 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.
Cuz you’re 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.
Cuz the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart.
Cuz 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 you get it
I’m not going anywhere with you tonight
Cuz this is my life.
