You're Not You

You're trying to remember why you cut all your hair

Were you trying to be someone you weren't?

You don't hang around the old haunts anymore

No, all the of those bridges are burned

He doesn't like to share you

He likes your hair short

You're not you, you're not you anymore



So take off that necklace he stole from his mother

It doesn't mean what it meant before

Pack up your pictures and gather all your clothes

But leave that lingerie that he bought you on the floor

It made you so awkward, you felt like a whore

You're not you, you're not you anymore



Girl, you need to be patient, the day's going to come

You'll leave your old baggage behind

No more excuses, no more denials

You're tired and you're drawing the line

You're nobody's lapdog, you're closing that door

You're not you, you're not you anymore
