I know a place
And a time
And a motive
You know the game of my life
And who wrote it
The lens is out of focus
But the angle here is clear
I promise not to say a word
If you don't shed a tear

'Cause every little thing that you told me
Was a line you rehearsed to play
And in the end you could never own me
So don't say that I led you astray
And in another life
I'll hear out
I'll let you in
You'll get wrapped up inside my skin
Cause this is what you hoped for
This is what came to
Thought I would be that girl
Didn't you

They know my name
And my age
And my crimes
We know the way
That it's all a disguise
If I don't bite my tongue
I think they'll take all of my teeth
Your whispers fill the room
But no one hears me when I scream

'Cause every little thing that you told me
Was a line you rehearsed to play
And in the end you could never own me
So don't say that I led you astray
And in another life
I'll hear out
I'll let you in
You'll get wrapped up inside my skin
Cause this is what you hoped for
This is what came to
Thought I would be that girl
Didn't you

You know you'll never hear me out
And I won't ever let you in
This uneven playing ground
Is a game I'll never win
I look so put together
Even as you rip me apart

'Cause every little thing that you told me
Was a line you rehearsed to play
And in the end you could never own me
So don't say that I led you astray
And in another life
I'll hear out
I'll let you in
You'll get wrapped up inside my skin
Cause this is what you hoped for
This is what came to
Thought I would be that girl
Didn't you
