Please Don't Tell Me Who I Am

from 1​:​11 by Honey B McKenna

lyrics

For too long I’ve been nice
Now let me give you some advice
Cuz I think the movie needs a rewrite
I don’t want your direction
Light me up with your projection
I wanna play against my type

It’s the same every single time
Your smile is so benign
But you can’t look me in the eye
You’re so desperate to define me
But you’ll never confine me
Stop wasting your time

So see, see, what you want to see, see
I am like a leaf, leaf, drifting in the breeze
Believe what you want to of me
Maybe I’m not really what you have perceived

Ooh, you say you understand
I don’t really think you can
Please don’t tell me who I am
I'm always making other plans
Now you don't meet my demands
please don’t tell me who I am

One face two face
Three face, four
You think you know them
But I can show you more
One face two face
Three face four
Think you’ve got my number
But you don’t know me at all

You say you’ll help me grow
But I just wanna let you know
That I’m the one who’s running the show
You say I’ve got potential
But I don’t want your credentials
Yeah I knew who I was long ago

And I have got a heart that’s made of bulletproof glass
You can try to break it but just know it was built to last
Think you’ve got a hold on me but I will always slip right out of your grasp

So come, come closer if you want to
I am like a whirlpool spinning in the deep
Drifting close to the horizon, i am not afraid
But maybe you should be

Ooh, you say you understand
I don’t really think you can
Please don’t tell me who I am
Try to catch me if you can
But I’m making other plans
So please don’t tell me who I am

One face two face
Three face, four
You think you know them
But I can show you more
One face two face
It’s by design
Think you’ve got my number
If it gives you peace of mind

Ooh, no you don’t know me like that (no no no no)
Ooh, If you’re looking at me, just know that I’m looking right back

Ooh, you say you understand
I don’t really think you can
Please don’t tell me who I am
Try to catch me if you can
But I’m making other plans
So please don’t tell me who I am

One face two face
Three face four
You think you know them
But I can show you more
One face two face
Three face four
Think you’ve got my number
But you don’t know me at all

(One face two face
Come on show me yours)
