we're not alike
Lyrics:
[English]
I got a lack of good judgment
Judgin' by the fact I got close to you (oh, no)
Time should heal, but it doesn't
Or maybe 'cause you still haven't told the truth (oh, no)
You know there's nothin' worse
Than missin' the signs
'Cause you pulled the wool right over your eyes
I'll admit when I'm wrong
But this time, I'm right
I'm sorry but I'll never see your side
Said she was a girl's girl, that's a lie
Said she had my back but she had the knife
I could never do it once and she did it twice
And you wonder why
And you wonder why we're not alike
(Oh, yeah, wе're not alike)
(Oh, yeah, wе're not alike)
Told me him and I would look so good
So when did you decide you want him instead?
(You want him instead, like, um)
No, I'm not saying I'm petty
But that's not saying that you're so innocent
(No, you're not innocent)
You know there's nothin' worse
Than missing the signs
'Cause you pulled the wool right over your eyes
I'll admit when I'm wrong
But this time, I'm right
I'm sorry but I'll never see your side
Said she was a girl's girl, that's a lie
Said she had my back but she had the knife
I could never do it once and she did it twice
And you wonder why
And you wonder why we're not alike
And you wonder why
Yeah, you wonder why
Yeah, you wonder why (we're not alike)
And you know I'm right
You know I'm right
Yeah, you know I'm right
She calls herself a girl's girl, that's a lie
Said she had my back but she had the knife
I could never do it once and she did it twice
And you wonder why (yeah)
Wonder why (why)
Said she was a girl's girl, that's a lie (that's a fucking lie)
Said she had my back but she had the knife
I could never do it once and she did it twice (do it twice)
And you wonder why
Yeah, you wonder why we're not alike
