lyrics

You put me into these clothes that you want me to wear
You buy me expensive things, and you change up my hair
But when I look in the mirror
I can’t recognize myself
Am I there inside, can you even tell
Before I met you, I had the biggest dreams in my head
Then you came into my life, and you crushed them dead
I let you take over
Didn’t know what to do
I surrendered my life, you made me look like a fool

You tell me baby you are all that I need
Your love is murder in the first degree
Who you wanna make me, that ain't who I wanna be

I’m done being a puppet baby on your string
I’m done being a liar, saying any little thing
They thought that was the real me
They couldn’t tell they were wrong
The man that they really knew, well he was long gone

I told you baby this was killing me
You took the knife and then you dug it in deep
Who you wanna make me, that ain’t who I wanna be

I took your tests, they taught me nothing
I saw the ground, I hit it running
Got in my car, looking for something called home
I looked around, saw all these faces
From different times, and different places
Surrounding me, and still I felt all alone, take me home, take me home, take me home

Walking down the street, sun beating down on me
I cut loose of these chains, now I’m finally free
I take a look behind me
At what I’m trying to leave
I’m going home, that’s where I wanna be
Who you wanna make me, that ain’t who I wanna be
Who you wanna make me, that ain’t who I want to be
